Ingredients

2 servings

For the pomegranate-honey syrup

¼ cup pomegranate juice, 100% pure
1 tbsp honey
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey.

For the cocktail

3 oz blanco tequila (100% agave)
1 cup fresh orange juice (from about 3 medium oranges)
ice cubes, as needed

For serving

2 orange slices, for garnish (optional)
2 maraschino cherries, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the pomegranate juice and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey fully dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool for at least 10 minutes until it reaches room temperature — it will thicken slightly as it cools.
2
Fill two highball glasses with ice cubes. Pour 1.5 oz of tequila into each glass, then divide the fresh orange juice evenly between the two glasses and stir briefly to combine.
