Winter Blues Buster


Winter is my least favorite season...So naturally I need something to bust that depression....I'm not saying that drinking an adult beverage is always the answer...but here is one adult beverage that might be the answer, at least one day during the winter!

Pomegranite Margarita.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 can(s) (12-ounce) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 2 cup(s) water
  • 3 1/2 cup(s) gold tequila
  • 2 cup(s) pomegranate juice
  • 1 cup(s) triple sec
  • 5 limes
  • Ice cubes for serving
  • 1 cup(s) fresh pomegranate seeds (from 1 pomegranate)
DIRECTIONS:

  1. In large pitcher, combine limeade and water until well blended. Stir in tequila, pomegranate juice, and triple sec.
  2. Cut each lime crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick wheels; cut a slit in each wheel, from center to edge. To serve, place ice cubes and a few pomegranate seeds in each glass; place a lime wheel on rim.

    Virgin Pomegranate Margaritas: Substitute 2 cups lemon-lime seltzer for tequila and triple sec. Substitute pomegranate-cranberry juice for pomegranate juice. Proceed as above. Tips & Techniques
Intense lime flavor comes from a budget-friendly can of concentrate. Mix and refrigerate the margaritas up to a day ahead.

  1. Yo Cuz, this was our "signature " drink at the family reunion!! It makes a great summer drink. And white rum works too! You should have posted this earlier, then Karen and Valerie wouldn't have spent their arm strength squeezing about 60 limes. Who knew the stuff came canned!! Karen was so tired she hid out in her room when family asked for more drinks!!
