Notes:
Change the flavors. While I used cranberry juice for this Christmas margarita recipe, you could easily swap it out for pomegranate and still keep the festive, wintery feel.
Change the salt rim. Like a touch of snow, although there are people who avoid salt, and replace it with white sugar, keep in mind lowering the amount of agave so as not to obtain a very sweet cocktail.
