Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Blanco or Reposado Tequila
  • 1 oz 100% Pomegranate juice, unsweetened
  • 0.75 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 0.5 oz Cointreau or Orange Liqueur

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the spiced salt rim by combining the sea salt, ground cinnamon, and lime zest on a small flat plate.
  2. Moisten the outer rim of a rocks glass with a lime wedge and dip it into the salt mixture at a 45-degree angle to coat the exterior.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with large ice cubes. Add the tequila, pomegranate juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar.
  4. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the shaker is frost-chilled and the liquid is properly aerated and diluted.
  5. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with fresh cranberries, a rosemary sprig, and a lime wheel.
