Being locked in the house during an unprecedented winter storm event, with rolling blackouts and a toddler can be a bit unnerving. Needless to say, after a few days of that mess, we were ready for a little relaxation to take the edge off. Enter the Pomegranate Margarita. J is usually a beer-only guy, but….desperate times and all that jazz. Even he liked these.
A little tart, a little sweet, and hit the spot perfectly. And thankfully, I already had all the ingredients I needed to make them!
I didn’t have all the things I would have liked for garnishes (extra limes, etc.) but it really is all about the pomegranate in here, anyway, so….
