Ingredients

  • 10 strips of cucumber for garnish thin
  • 0.8 cup juice of lime fresh
  • 2.5 cups pomegranate juice (see Note)
  • cup sugar 
  • cup añejo tequila 
  • 0.5 cup water 

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • lemon squeezer

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and simmer over high heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved; let cool completely.
  2. In a tall pitcher, combine the sugar syrup with the pomegranate juice, tequila and lime juice. Stir well, fill the pitcher with ice and stir again.
  3. Pour into 10 margarita, martini or cordial glasses, garnish each with a cucumber strip and serve.
