A signature drink that’s refreshing and distinctive enough to wow your guests without being something they take one sip of and promptly put down on the nearest surface? Hard to come by . . . we like!

Blood Orange Margarita Recipe
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.
3 oz fresh Blood Orange Juice
2 oz Tequila
1 oz  Triple Sec
splash of agave nectar (syrup)
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.
