Ingredients




4 oz blood orange juice
2 ounces lime juice
4 oz tequilla
2 ounces orange liquor (cointreau, grand marnier, or tripple sec)
for the sugar rim (optional):
1 zest of lime
1 zest of blood orange
4 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

1 If making a sugar rim, combine lime zest, orange zest, and sugar in a shallow bowl, rubbing zest into sugar with fingers. Run a wedge of lime around the rim of your serving glass, then dip glass in bowl of sugar, turning it back and forth to coat with sugar-zest mixture. 2 In a shaker filled with ice, combine orange juice, lime juice, tequila, and orange liquor and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Pour margarita into serving glasses (with or without fresh ice) and garnish with an orange wheel, if desired.
