Method

Cocktail

Prepare and chill

If desired, chill the serving glass(s) in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice.

Build the cocktail

Add 2 oz Tres Agaves Blanco tequila, 0.75 oz pomegranate liqueur, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar to the shaker with ice.

Shake

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold and well-chilled and the mixture is slightly frothy from the citrus.

Prepare the glass rim (optional)

If you want a rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into coarse salt or sugar to coat evenly. Tap off excess.

Strain and serve

Using a Hawthorne or fine strainer, double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass over fresh ice (or serve neat if preferred).

Garnish & Finish

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and float a few pomegranate seeds on top. Serve immediately.
