Adding pomegranate juice to your margarita is refreshing and unique, but it's also incredibly good for you. Pomegranate juice is high in antioxidants and vitamin C—just what your body needs during those colder months! Add some extra zing by putting a few pinches of freshly grated ginger in your cocktail shaker before shaking your drink. —Laura Scherb, Evanston, Illinois
