The trick to more regularly enjoying spritz cocktails is to keep half bottles of inexpensive prosecco or sparkling wine on hand. You don’t need much, and you don’t need to worry about having to finish an entire bottle of bubbles. Muddle a strawberry, add in pomegranate liqueur, lime juice and tequila. Top with the sparkling wine and enjoy this lovely pink-hued spritz any day of the week.
Strawberry-Pomegranate Tequila Spritz
The trick to more regularly enjoying spritz cocktails is to keep half bottles of inexpensive prosecco or sparkling wine on hand. You don't need much, and you don't need to worry about having to finish an entire bottle of bubbles. Muddle a strawberry, add in pomegranate liqueur, lime juice and tequila.

Ingredients
- 5 large strawberries
- 1 ½ tablespoon fine sugar
- 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) fresh lime juice
- 1 ½ ounces pomegranate liqueur
- 4 ounces (½ cup) silver tequila
- 1 half bottle sparkling wine, such as prosecco, chilled
Instructions
- Mash 3 of the strawberries with the sugar using a muddler or fork in a cocktail shaker. Add the lime juice, pomegranate liqueur, and tequila, and a few ice cubes. Place the lid on and shake to combine, then strain into four champagne glasses. Top with the sparkling wine and serve, with the last two strawberries halved for garnish.
Notes
- I don’t like my drinks too sweet, but if you do, go ahead and increase the sugar by 1 teaspoon
