Blood Orange Margaritas

A strong, fruity margarita that is a beautiful, refreshing way to enjoy the best of late winter blood oranges. Easily scaled up to make a pitcher for a crowd.

📝 Ingredients

• 120 ml tequila blanco
• 40 ml triple sec
• juice of 3 large blood oranges
• juice of 2 limes
• 2 large handfuls ice cubes
• fine sea salt (optional, for salted glass rims)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine the tequila, triple sec and citrus juice with a handful of ice in the cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously for about a minute.
2. 2If you’re rimming the glasses, shake a thin layer of salt on one plate, and pour a little triple sec on another. Dip the glass rims first in the triple sec, then the salt, making sure only to coat the outside rim of the glass.
3. 3Divide the remaining ice between the two glasses, and strain over the margarita mix. Serve immediately.
