We ring in the new year with blood orange margaritas, combining the winter citrus with tequila, lime and triple sec to create damn tasty cocktails.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blood orange juice 4 oz
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice 1.5 oz
- 4 tablespoons triple sec or cointreau 2 oz
- 7 tablespoons white or “silver” tequila 3.5 oz
- Lime slices for garnish
- Turbinado sugar for rim optional
Instructions
- Combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and blood orange juice in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds.
- Strain over ice into chilled glasses rimmed with turbinado sugar. Garnish with lime wheel and get ready to make a second batch.
- To sugar (or salt) rim your glasses, run a lime wedge lightly over the rim of each glass and dip into a bowl with a few tablespoons of sugar in it. Allow a few minutes to dry before pouring drinks.
