Name: Horseradish Pomegranate Margarita
Ingredients: 1/3 cup fresh horseradish, peeled and chopped; 1 cup silver (blanco) tequila; 1/2 ounce Cointreau; 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice; 1/2 ounce pomegranate juice; 1/4 ounce simple syrup

Traditionalists will scoff, but this unusual riff on the classic margarita has plenty of bite and a touch of sweetness, making it a perfect accompaniment to rich Mexican food. You'll need to plan ahead for this cocktail as you have to soak the horseradish root in tequila for at least 24 hours, but the results are without compare. Store leftover tequila-horseradish mixture in the refrigerator.
