Ingredients

  • For the margarita:
  • 4 ounces silver tequila
  • 1 ounce simple syrup* (2 tablespoons)
  • 2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (1/4 cup fresh lime juice)
  • 2 ounces freshly squeezed blood orange juice
  • 2-4 jalapeño slices, depending on how spicy you like it
  • For serving:
  • Tajín (or sea salt) and a lime wedge for rimming the glass, if desired
  • Thin blood orange slices
  • ice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you’d like to rim your glass, do this first. Cut a wedge from a lime and rub the cut side of the lime along the rim of your favorite glass. Pour tajín (or sea salt) onto a plate and dip the wet glass rim into the tajín to coat it.
  2. Add tequila, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, blood orange juice and jalapeño slices to a cocktail shaker. Then add about ½ cup of ice cubes to the shaker, cover tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
  3. Add ice to two glasses then immediately pour the margarita mixture over, garnish with blood orange slices. Enjoy!

Notes

  • *A quick shortcut for simple syrup: shake equal parts granulated sugar + water (2 tbsp. each would be enough for 2 drinks) in a small jar for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Feel free to double, triple or quadruple the recipe to serve more.
