Blood Orange Margarita for the Win

One of my staple fall and winter twists on cocktails is to up it with blood orange. It makes it nice and sweet. This cocktail is a fun twist on the margarita that is perfect for fall parties with the pop of red.

Blood Orange Margarita

Tequila Margarita

Ingredients

2 oz Tequila

1 oz Mezcal

1 oz Grand Marnier

1 oz Blood Orange Juice

1 oz Lime Juice

1/2 oz Simple Syrup

Garnish: Salt Rim

Recipe: In a cocktail shaker with ice, pour all ingredients. For myself (and when I make it for my mom), I put citrus and simple syrup first then alcohol. Give it a nice shake and strain into a margarita glass. How you serve margarita is how you can tailor it to your guests. Salt rim or no rim. Ice or no Ice. I like that you are able to make it an experience. For me, salt with blood orange is everything! But to teach your own adventure.
