Blood Orange Margarita

BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA😍

GUYS! We made it to Friday!! What a better way to reward yourself than with a nice and bright Blood Orange Margarita! It’s the least we can do for ourselves today right? ;) You’re gonna love this one! 

I served these beauts in my new Greenline Glasses - they’re so cute with a map of San Diego on them! Can’t even count how many people I’ve gotten these as gifts for - it’s the perfect addition to the bar cart. They’ve been awesome and are offering you guys 15% on their website if you use the code RockinMeals15. They also have glasses with dog breeds on them, so you KNOW I’m gonna need to get a Beagle one ASAP! You can find the ones I have here.

If you’re skeptical about the egg white, you’ve gotta trust me on this! It gives it a nice frothy top and mellows out the citrus in the cocktail. It will still taste great without though!

Serves 2.

Ingredients:

For the Blood Orange Margarita:

• 4 oz lime juice (½ cup)

• 3-4 tbsps honey or agave

• 1 egg white (optional)

• Blood orange zest + sugar for the rim

• Extra lime wedges for serving

• Ice

Directions:

For the Blood Orange Margarita:

• Add lime juice, blood orange juice, tequila, Grand Mariner, and honey or agave to a cocktail shaker and shake for 15-20 seconds until well mixed.

• Add egg white and shake for 20-30 seconds to incorporate the egg white.

• Add ice and shake until your hand is very cold.

• Mix blood orange zest and sugar on a plate. Rim both cocktail glasses with a lime wedge and dip in the sugar mix. Fill with ice.
