Pomegranate Ginger Paloma

This tequila based drink is a seasonal spin on a classic Mexican cocktail. It has a great combination of fizzy, slightly sweet, and spicy from the ginger. My recipe for a Pomegranate Ginger Paloma is made with a healthier version of simple syrup -using organic honey and lots of ginger!
