We're big fans of a margarita here at Foodism – no matter what time of the year it is. Needless to say, this recipe from Arabica Bar & Kitchen is one that we'd happily make come rain, shine, or snow. Jazzed up with the addition of fresh pomegranate and a salt and pepper rim, this cocktail will have your dinner party guests coming back time and time again.

That being said, you really should get down to Arabica King's Cross to try out the real deal. It's one of the best places to eat in King's Cross for a reason, y'know.
