Rosemary Pomegranate Margarita

Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Bring to a simmer and allow the sugar to fully dissolve. Drop in the rosemary and continue to simmer for 30 seconds.

Remove from heat and let the syrup steep for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The longer it steeps, the stronger the flavor.

When it’s done steeping, strain into a glass container and chill until you’re ready to make the cocktails.

Cover a small plate with flaky salt and run a lime wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass.

Rub the rim into the salt and then fill the glass with ice.

In the cocktail glass, stir together the tequila, orange liqueur, lime, pomegranate juice, and simple syrup.

Garnish with pomegranate seeds and a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!
