Pomegranate Margarita is the perfect cocktail for your next summer soiree. This cocktail mixes PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur, tequila, triple sec, lime juice and simple syrup to create a fruity, light margarita.
I blinked and the July 4th holiday was upon us. How is this even possible?
I swear we were just packing up a moving truck in the 30 degree weather in Chicago and moving to Ohio, and now all of the sudden we are snacking on bruschetta, grilling chicken and steaks, eating fresh farmers market salads and sipping on Pomegranate Margaritas.
I love margaritas, especially fruity margaritas.
I get a little bit anxious when I think about how fast summer is going.
I make it a point every summer to do as much as possible and take advantage of the warm weather, since Midwestern winters can keep us inside so much. I have a long bucket list in my head of things we have to do.
Pool days, beach days, parks, ice cream outings, hiking, bike rides, backyard, parties, festivals, concerts, the list goes on.
For me, nothing says summer more than a nice, backyard summer party.
Gathering the friends and family, creating fresh, seasonal appetizers and salads and firing up the grill.
My favorite things about a backyard party happen to be the appetizers and the cocktails.
If I go to a party and that is all they have, I am a happy camper.
At my parties I like to have a table of appetizers ranging from hummus, to salsa and guacamole, to crostinis and bruschetta.
I am such an appetizer girl, it’s almost a problem.
Pomegranate Margaritas are the perfect addition to a backyard party. Light, sweet and full of flavor.
This cocktails uses PAMA which is sweet, yet tart and uses all-natural pomegranates.
Hello, antioxidants! PAMA is made with all-natural pomegranate juice, premium vodka and a touch of imported tequila.
PAMA’s sweet yet tart taste makes it the perfect addition to any summer party,whether in the form of refreshing cocktails, party punches, or sweet frozen summer treats.
I keep thinking I need to make a big pitcher of these margaritas and turn them into adult popsicles for my next party. Are you in?

These pomegranate margaritas are a great refreshing drink for these hot days we’ve been having here in FL! LOVE them, Julia!
They really are! Florida gets so hot this time of year, it sounds like you need one of these to cool off. 😉
Summers in the midwest are the best! We lived near Cleveland for 6 years and took FULL advantage of the beautiful weather for grilling and sharing cocktails with friends and neighbors. I will definitely look for this Pomegranate Liqueur! YUM.
So fun! We love it here in the warm months and winters are horrible either. I just tend to not go outside as much! Hope you find the Pomegranate Liqueur. It is tasty!
I have a never-fail pom recipe that I ALWAYS use…but you could possibly sway me with this one!! Looks fantastic 🙂
Thanks Kristy! Hope you try it out. We really liked it.
You had me at tequila! This sounds so refreshing!

I am so a happy camper with cocktails and appetizers too! I mean, WHAT ELSE IS THERE? Wish we could throw a party together. You bring this gorgeous Pomegranate Margarita, and I’ll do the appetizers. 🙂 I”ve not tried this PAMA Pomegranate Liqueur and I so want to. Stunning pictures Julia!
