Margarita de Granada

Margarita de Granada is a bright, fruit-forward twist on the classic that brilliantly pairs the crisp, subtle smoke of unaged mezcal with the sweet-tart vibrance of fresh pomegranate juice. Shaken with fresh lime and a touch of rich agave syrup, this light and crushable cooler is strained over fresh ice and elegantly finished with a scattering of ruby-red pomegranate seeds and a simple lime wheel.
