Margarita - Chili Pomegranate Margarita

What's the difference between a cocktail and a drink? Hell, we don't know! As near as can be said, a drink is alcohol, a mixer, and (or not) ice. A cocktail is something carefully constructed using different ingredients and with finesse. Sometimes, but not always, cocktails are served in stemware, fancy glasses. You be the judge.

On a small plate combine a few tablespoons each of coarse salt and Tajin. Run a slice of lime around the edge of a margarita glass and dip in the salt and chili mixture. Fill with ice and set aside. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice combine tequila, pomegranate juice, lime juice, Cointreau and 2 teaspoons of Tajin. Shake vigorously until cocktail is well chilled. Strain into prepared margarita glass. Garnish with a wedge of lime and more Tajin if desired. Serve immediately!
