"Oh, bless you..." is what my friend said when I handed her one, "Now I need a dress in this sexy color."
True story. And she loved this garnet-hued pom margarita made like a martini. It's fruity and strong, with a husky-smooth aftertaste-- perfect for sipping as the autumnal sun sets or with a good friend.
"I used "Just Pomegranate" juice and had to up the agave a tad - it's really tart!"
Notes: Pomegranate juice is R.W. Knudsen.
