GINGER POMEGRANATE MARGARITA

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 oz (6 ct) Tequila Silver

1oz (4ct) Orange liquor or triple sec

1/2 oz (2 ct) Fresh pomegranate juice

½ oz (2ct) ginger syrup

2 lime wedge

Fresh ginger root

1 Lime

1 Pomegranate

PREPARATION:

In a mixing glass place a pinch of fresh ginger root.  Add the ginger syrup and muddle it softly ….the ginger has a very strong flavor and you don’t want to overdo it! Following the recipe, add The tequila, the triple sec, the fresh pomegranate, and the juice of two limes.

Fill the shaker with ice. Shake it until cold, and then strain into a chilled apple sugar rimmed long drink glass

Nothing can look so refreshing ……..a nice chilled glass with a bright green rim and a dark pink drink….

The essence is dominated from the spice/acidic characteristic of the ginger.   The mouth is a mix of opposite sensations of spice (ginger) and Sweetness (pomegranate), with the nice kick of the base spirits!
