Pomegrante Margarita

Day 109

Pomegranate Margarita

4 shots out of 5

We had a BBQ last night and I have to say that my Bahama Mama was an absolute hit!  

Guys and Girls both liked it, which was nice.  Some even came back for seconds.  

I have a feeling that cocktail will be made many time in the future.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  

It's a pretty good Margarita.  

I found the recipe online and cut back on the amount of tequila I used from the original recipe.......I just couldn't see 2 whole shots of tequila mixed into this margarita.  

Bleh!!

The first sip was quite......tart.  

After the margarita had sit for a little bit, the tartness wasn't so strong and I was able to enjoy it a bit more.  

I want to try this margarita with my blueberry pomegranate juice sometime in the future.......maybe with a little less lime juice too.  

All in all, it's not a bad cocktail, especially when the tartness calms down a bit.

I always like a good pomegranate cocktail.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Here is the recipe for a Pomegranate Margarita:

• 1 shot pomegranate juice
• 1 1/2 shots tequila
• 1/2 shot triple sec
• 1 shot lime juice

In a blender add 1 cup of ice, pomegranate juice, tequila, triple sec and lime juice.  Blend everything together really well so that there is no trace of ice anywhere.  Pour and enjoy!

Here's to one more week of school for 2 of my 4 kids, then a whole summer of fun........and cocktails!

Pomegranate Martini

Day 29

Pomegranate Martini

4 shots out of 5

During one of our family get together's for Christmas my aunt made a pitcher of Pomegranate Martinis.  

She can't remember what the exact recipe was, so I can't replicate it perfectly but decided to give my own version a shot.  


I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  


I enjoyed this cocktail (even though it's not a blended cocktail!) a lot.  


It kinda grew on me a bit.  

I had initially made it without the lemon and um, YUCK! 

So I decided that I needed to add the lemon to balance it out and it totally worked!  


This cocktail doesn't taste too strong, but after a little you can feel that you are drinking alcohol.


I was excited to finally have a reason to buy the Pom Pomegranate juice at the store.  I always pass in in the isle and admire it's neat shaped bottle and cool dark maroonish coloring, and what about that adorable heart instead of the "o" in Pom!  



OK, OK, enough about the packaging, lets get to the recipe.

Doesn't it look absolutely delicious!!  I looove the color of it too!
