Can I make this into a pomegranate margarita mocktail?

Of course you can make this into a mocktail! If you're pregnant, enjoying dry January, or just trying to be healthy, omit the tequila and enjoy this as a margarita mocktail. It's just as tasty.

Can I make this a frozen margarita?

Yes! All you need to do is pour all of the ingredients into a blender, add 1 cup of ice and blend until smooth.

Can I use store-bought orange juice?

You can, but I highly recommend fresh squeezed. You don't need much juice, and it's so much better fresh.

Instructions

Add about a cup of ice to a cocktail shaker or a jar with a lid. Add the orange juice, lime juice, pomegranate juice, maple syrup, and tequila, then cover and shake 10-15 times.
Add enough raw sugar (or sugar of your choice) to cover the surface of a small saucer. Fill a small bowl with water, then dip the rim of your desired glasses into the water and sugar. Fill halfway with ice, then divide the margarita mixture between the two glasses.
Garnish each glass with orange slices, a rosemary sprig, pomegranate arils, or fresh cranberries, if desired.
