Ingredients

• Juice of one lime
• Stirrings Cosmopolitan Cocktail Rimmer
• Sparkling soda chilled
• Clementine orange slices and pomegranate seeds for garnish

1. Combine the mixers, tequila, triple sec and lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until ice cold.
2. Rub the rim of two glasses with a lime and then dip into Cosmopolitan Rimmer garnish.
3. Layer ice and orange slices in a glass and then pour mixture to within an inch of the top of the glass.
4. Top with sparkling water and gently stir.
5. Garnish with orange slices and pomegranate seeds. Serve with a straw if desired.

Don’t skip the garnish. 

Adding orange slices and pomegranate seeds to this tequila spritzer might seem like unnecessary showmanship, but we always find that taking the time to garnish my cocktails helps to create the vibe I always crave from nights out on the town — all while saving plenty of money.
