Nice to have more tequila aperitif cocktails that have some bittersweet herbal notes and bear no resemblance to a margarita. The Amaro Montenegro works well with the tequila in this. Kristi suggests adding a pink edible flower to the garnish for a little extra flair. Could use another drop or 2 of rose water; I had no idea whether we had any but Kristi went to the pantry and immediately returned with a bottle so I had to make it. No idea what the name means other than referencing the pink color. Highly recommended.

One detail: no fresh pomegranates to squeeze so I used pomegranate liqueur, which seems to have worked fine.
