A delightful twist on the classic margarita, featuring the vibrant flavors of blood orange and lime.
Juice the blood orange and lime into a cocktail shaker.
Roll the citrus fruits on the counter before juicing to extract more juice.
Add the Cointreau and tequila to the shaker.
Measure the alcohol accurately for a balanced flavor.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Shake until the shaker feels cold to the touch.
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
Use a fine strainer to catch any pulp or ice shards.
Garnish with a slice of blood orange or lime, and serve immediately.
For a festive touch, rim the glass with salt or sugar before pouring.
