Great recipe! Easy to prepare & love that it's fairly low cal! I didn't use the pomegranate seeds but it was still pretty tasty! This will be a recipe I use frequently.

The deep red tones of this margarita cocktail come from pomegranate juice. Not only is this sweet juice beautiful, it's also packed with disease-fighting antioxidants.
