I am so excited to officially embrace summer with a cocktail in hand! This margarita recipe is perfect for Friday’s post-work sunset cocktails or for Saturday BBQ-ing with friends. The key is choosing a good quality Tequila {I chose Avión}, and then adding two simple ingredients. Serve with a complimentary garnish and bright cocktail napkins and this drink will be the life of the party!

Blood Orange Margarita Ingredients:

• 1½ parts Tequila Avión Reposado
• ¾ part Cointreau Orange Liqueur
• 1 part Blood Orange Juice
• Blood Orange Simple & Crisps {for Garnish}

Directions:  Add Avión Tequila, Cointreau Orange Liqueur, and Blood Orange Juice to a martini shaker with ice. Shake well and serve over ice with Simple & Crisp garnish. Festive cocktail napkins recommended.
