Ingredients

Black lava salt (see Note) or kosher salt
Lime wedges
Ice
1 1/2 cups silver tequila
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1 cup pomegranate syrup (see Note)
24 dashes of orange bitters

Directions

Spread salt in a shallow dish. Run a lime wedge around the rims of chilled cocktail glasses, then dip the rims in the salt to coat.
In an ice-filled pitcher, combine the tequila, lime juice, pomegranate syrup and bitters. Stir well. Strain into the cocktail glasses.

Notes

Black lava salt is available at amazon.com. To make pomegranate syrup, whisk together 3/4 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice with 3/4 cup sugar until the sugar is dissolved; you should have 1 1/2 cups.
