Author Notes
I look forward to clementines come winter —they’re such a bright point on a cold, dreary day. My clementine margarita is inspired by a Tequila Sunrise, but with pomegranate juice to give the drink its red gradient. Clementines are less acidic than oranges and their sweetness cuts through the tart lime and pomegranate juices. Crisp, clear 1800 Cristalino añejo tequila rounds out this fruit-forward drink by adding depth, silkiness, and notes of warm vanilla. —Irene Yoo
