Pink Pom Pom Margaritas

Pink Pom Pom Margaritas are festive & sweet summer cocktails to add pop to the party.
Get out those glasses and salt the rims. It’s Cinco de Mayo, and we have the perfect drink to celebrate. We love all things Cinco de Mayo here at superman cooks. Not only is it a good excuse to drink a margarita (or two), but it also involves all kinds of Mexican food, which you will never hear us complain about.

Each year, we like to release a new recipe to celebrate this special holiday. This year, Keith created a festive drink that we are calling a Pink Pom Pom Margarita. It’s a twist on a classic, loaded with fresh pomegranate juice, lime, and all the traditional margarita fixings. It’s finished off with a rim of salt and lime zest. We think it goes great with all kinds of traditional Mexican fare, so it’s ideal for parties, and pretty enough to serve at a summer shower or barbecue.
To achieve this gorgeous pink hue, we used the juice from the pomegranate itself (as bottled juices tend to be a little darker in color). Fresh pomegranate seeds gave this cocktail a festive, summertime feel. We liked this so much that we had to rush through the shoot so that we could take a pitcher out on the patio and enjoy it. Cheers!
