The juicy, sweet-tart flavor of pomegranates is a natural partner for orange, lime, and tequila – as demonstrated by this recipe for Hearts of Pom.
As this drink has no sweetener, much rests on the sweetness of both the orange liqueur and the pomegranate juice. We prefer Cointreau here, and we always try a sip of the mix before shaking with ice – if it’s too tart, add a dash of simple syrup, agave nectar, or any other sweetener you prefer.
