Get out those glasses and salt the rims!! It’s Cinco de Mayo, and we have the perfect Pink Drink to celebrate.

Not only is this holiday a good excuse to drink a margarita (or two), but it also involves all kinds of Mexican food, which you'll never hear us complain about.

- Mix kosher salt and lime zest in a shallow dish big enough to dip the top of glass in.
- Using a lime wedge, wet the rim of the glass and dip glass into salt and zest mixture.
- Fill glass with ice.
- Strain the margarita mixture over ice, add more lime zest and pomegranate seeds.
- Garnish with lime wheel and enjoy.
