Ingredients
- 4 oz tequila
- 2-3 oz blood orange juice *more if you want it sweeter
- 2 oz lime juice
- 1½ oz Cointreau or triple sec
Instructions
- Dip the rim of two lowball glasses into honey followed by a mixture of tajin and coarse sea salt. (Optional, but it's pretty and tasty!)
- Add all ingredients to a large cocktail shaker with lots of ice.
- Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds and pour into glasses. Add more ice if needed and serve with a straw. Enjoy!
Notes
- A blood orange margarita actually works in any season but is surprisingly best during blood orange season which is December-May.
- Feel free to make this sweeter if your blood oranges are on the less sweet side. Use 0.5-1 oz of simple syrup or swap the lime juice for 1 oz of sour mix if you wish.
- Want to make it wintery? Add cinnamon/salt/sugar on the rim with a rosemary sprig. ❄️
