This pomegranate margarita recipe is a sweet, fruity cocktail that's fun to drink and not complicated to make. 

This recipe combines pomegranate juice and sugar to make a simple syrup - no messy deseeding pomegranates necessary (unless you want to garnish the drink with seeds). 

This cocktail is fruity and beautiful. It’s a bit of the usual sweet and sour combination of a margarita, and that’s just so compelling!

History of the Pomegranate

Pomegranates are the best, even though they are a little tricky to eat. The pomegranate is one of the oldest cultivated fruits, and its name comes from the Latin words pomum (apple) and granatus (seeded).

Pomegranates have been an important fruit for several spiritual traditions, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Recently, they have seen a resurgence in popularity (far beyond Mediterranean cuisine) because of their health benefits—they're high in fiber, protein, and vitamins C and K. 

We love pomegranates, but it can be a little hard to peel them. Check out our guide on the best way to peel a pomegranate.
