With summer fast approaching, I dug deep into my vast pool of cocktail knowledge and pulled up a cocktail recipe sure to please any margarita lover.
A huge fan of the classic lime margarita, I figured that this Blood Orange Margarita would be a nice change of pace from the original.
Besides, after a long hot day at work, there is no better way to unwind, than to kick off your shoes and enjoy a cocktail, jimmy buffet style.
To start, salt the rim of a set of rocks glasses using a lime wedge, and very course salt.
To a cocktail shaker, add:
- 2 oz tequila (Silver tequila works best for margaritas, try Sauza Blanco or Sauza Hornitos)
- 1 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 3/4 oz orange liqueur (I like Triple Sec)
- 1/2 oz simple syrup (make this by boiling one part sugar, with one part water, until sugar dissolves and a syrupy consistency forms)
- 3/4 oz blood orange puree
Garnish with a lime wheel, and a blood orange wheel.
Put on your summer dresses and enjoy!
