1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of your glass. Then, dip the rim into a small plate of salt until it is evenly coated.
2
Juice the Blood Orange
Cut the blood orange in half and use a juicer or reamer to extract fresh juice, measuring out 1 oz. Set aside.
3
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Tequila Blanco, 1 oz of Orange Liqueur, 1 oz of Fresh Pressed Blood Orange Juice, 0.5 oz of Agave Syrup, and 0.5 oz of Fresh Lime Juice.
4
Shake
Add 1 cup of ice to the cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice or without ice, depending on your preference.
6
Garnish
Garnish with a slice of blood orange on the rim of the glass for a vibrant presentation.
