Clayton's Holiday Margarita
“Margaritas are such a crowd-pleaser, yet not what you may typically think of for holiday gatherings,” says Alex Snodgrass, the blogger and cookbook author behind the Defined Dish. In this recipe from her New York Times bestseller The Comfortable Kitchen, Snodgrass reimagines one of her signature cocktails — Clayton’s Margarita — by giving it a holiday twist. “Clayton’s Holiday Margarita brings you classic margarita flavors we all love but includes pomegranate juice for a hint of sweetness and festive color, making it perfect for holiday hosting.”
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (8 fl. oz./250 ml) blanco tequila
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) Cointreau
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) freshly squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1/4 cup (2 fl. oz./60 ml) pomegranate juice
- 1/2 cup (4 fl. oz./125 ml) simple syrup
- 1 tsp. egg white
- 1 lime wedge
- Kosher salt or Tajín seasoning
- 4 fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions:
In a blender, combine the tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, pomegranate juice, simple syrup and egg white. Blend until frothy.
Cut a slit in the lime wedge and rub it along the rim of the glasses. Pour the salt (or Tajin, if using) onto a small plate. Roll the edges of the glasses in the salt or Tajín to coat the rims. (Alternatively, you can opt to top the margarita itself with a sprinkle of Tajín or salt.) Carefully fill the glasses with ice and pour in the margarita. Garnish each glass with a sprig of rosemary, if desired, and serve. Makes 4 drinks.
