Blood Orange Margarita – oh my!

By blum099

The acidity of fresh blood orange juice in this margarita is outstanding. The bright, tart flavors of blood orange makes a brilliantly colored cocktail and not to mention very refreshing too.

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)
• 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.
