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!

Made this cocktail for my birthday yesterday. It was sooo lovely. I used Cointreau in mine and it tasted similar to a Cosmo. Loved it, loved it and am making again this holiday weekend for our guests.
Lynn,
This is one of my favorite drinks to make! I’m so excited that you like it!
