Blood Orange Margarita Recipe

By ngaldi

Ingredients

• 3 oz fresh Blood Orange Juice
• 2 oz Tequila (for recommendations see comments on Meyer Lemon Margarita post)
• 1 oz Triple Sec
• splash of agave nectar (syrup) (optional yet fantastic suggestion from Brooke who is a kick ass bartender)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Rub the rim of an old fashioned glass (or whatever similar vessel you prefer) with an edge of a blood orange slice.  Swirl the rim through a small pile of kosher or sea salt to salt the rim.

2. Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker, add ice and shake for 15 seconds.

3. Put a few cubes of ice in your glass.  Strain the cocktail into the glass and enjoy.
