Pomegranate Rosemary Margarita – Sharon Palmer, The Plant Powered Dietitian

Turn to seasonal produce to inspire a fruit-forward cocktail, such as this super-easy, 5-ingredient, 10-minute batch of Pomegranate Rosemary Margarita. Shun the sugary, fake margarita mixes and use fresh lemon or lime juice, pomegranate juice, pomegranate arils, rosemary, silver tequila, and a touch of agave to flavor these super-food drinks! The fuchsia color is off the charts gorgeous, and the flavor sparkles with fresh fruit flavors. This is a great drink to serve over the holidays, during the winter, or any time of the year. I used freshly squeezed pomegranates for juice, as well as the arils from my trees in my garden, but you can also find fresh squeezed pomegranate juice and fresh or frozen pomegranate arils (the seeds) available in many markets. Try a cinnamon sugar rim around the edges of your glass, or skip it and stick with the margarita itself.
