A Creative New Pomegranate Margarita From Patrón
National Margarita Day took place on February 22, and this year Patrón celebrated by creating four recipes using its popular silver tequila. The pomegranate margarita, featuring all the traditional ingredients alongside pomegranate juice and seeds, hits the marks marg drinkers look for while also exciting the palate with added tartness and textural complexity. Drinkers will agree that this margarita works well beyond National Margarita Day. The only thing left to argue about is how heavily to salt the rim.
