When it comes to refreshing, it’s hard to do better than this Watermelon Pomegranate Margarita. For summer entertaining, Watermelon Margaritas are a staple – we prefer ours, the Watermelon Pomegranate Margarita Cocktails recipe, with a touch of pomegranate liqueur to bring a little tartness and a deep ruby color.
Why You Should Make This Pomegranate Margarita
If the classic margarita is too sweet for you, or you’re just looking for a change, you’ll want to try out this cocktail.
A Pomegranate Margarita is simply a classic Margarita made with some sort of pomegranate flavor. A lot of recipes use pomegranate juice but that seems to make the cocktail heavy and almost thick in texture. Here we use a similar formula to the Cadillac Margarita Recipe except we use watermelon juice and pomegranate liqueur and no simple syrup or orange liqueur.
These can be made one by one or by the pitcher — it’s a one-size-fits-all drink, which is why we love it so much. Here is a bit more about it:

Watermelon Pomegranate Margarita Cocktails Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 ounces fresh watermelon juice (blend and strain fresh watermelon)
- 3 ounces 100% agave silver tequila
- 1 1/2 ounces Pama pomegranate liqueur
- 1/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
- Ice
- Watermelon formed into spheres with a measuring spoon, for garnish

Instructions
- Make The Garnish: For the garnish, form the watermelon into spheres by using a melon baller (a round 1/2 teaspoon-size measuring spoon will work too) and scoop the watermelon to create two melon balls. Mix the chili powder and salt in a small bowl or a plate then dip half of the watermelon balls in the mix and skewer with a cocktail pick. Garnish each drink with a watermelon ball and serve.
- Make The Cocktail: Combine watermelon juice, tequila, PAMA liqueur, lime juice in a cocktail shaker and add enough ice to fill halfway. Close and shake until the shaker is frosted, about 20 shakes. Strain into a chilled rocks glass filled with ice. Garnish each drink with a watermelon ball and serve.
