Pomegranate Rose Margarita

Pomegranate Rose Margaritas are a festive and delicious addition to any holiday spread. Tart pomegranate pairs beautifully with the touch of sweetness from the rose simple syrup. Rim the glass with a cascade of rose salt and you'll find yourself sipping on this libation all winter long.
