Cheers to the weekend!!! Fresh blood orange juice, limes, tequila, orange liquor, and ice make for a strong, but very refreshing, drink.
PSA: blood oranges have a slightly different taste than regular oranges and a dramatically different look! They make for quite a knockout of a drink ? Here, I used pink Himalayan salt for the rim because the colors gotta match! ? 21+
Fresh limes are a must, don’t even think of using the bottled kind.
Winter bounty!
I used pink Himalayan salt for the rim, goes with the “color story”
You can add a dash or so of simple syrup if you like your drinks sweeter, I like a strong tart drink every once in a while.

Gin Fizz Cocktail
This Texas margarita gets a little added sweetness from the addition of orange juice. I used some in season blood oranges for a beautiful ruby color but any orange works!
