How to Make Applebee's Authentic Pomegranate Margarita

  1. Prepare the simple syrup: Combine 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Tequila, 1 oz Pomegranate Juice, 1 oz Lime Juice, 0.75 oz Cointreau or Triple Sec, and 1 oz Simple Syrup.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
  4. Strain the margarita into a chilled martini glass.
  5. Garnish with a skewered maraschino cherry and a lime wedge. Enjoy!
  6. (Optional) Salt the rim of the glass for an extra kick.
