Notes
If you want to use fresh pomegranates to make fresh pomegranate juice for your margarita, here is how I juice pomegranates.
1. Slice a pomegranate in half. Remove seeds and save for garnish.
2. Squeeze each half of the pomegranate like oranges in a juicer.
3. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve and use as desired.
