Equipment

  • Cocktail Shaker & Strainer

Ingredients

  • 1 wedge lemon or lime
  • Crystalised salt
  • 3 parts silver tequila
  • 2 parts Grand Marnier or Cointreau
  • 2 parts blood-orange juice
  • 1 part lime juice
  • Slice of blood orange and a sprig of mint to garnish

Instructions

For the salt-rimmed glass

  • Place salt crystals on a small plate or saucer. Make a thin cut in the flesh side of the lemon wedge. Run the cut edge around the rim of the cocktail glass. Dip the upturned glass into the salt crystals until they stick and form a crust around the rim of the glass.

For the blood orange margarita

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour cocktail ingredients over ice and shake well. Strain into salt-rimmed glasses and serve with a slice of blood orange and a sprig of mint (optional).
