Blood orange margarita

Not yet rated

Nix & Kix Sparkling Blood Orange Turmeric gives this long version of a margarita a spicy kick. If you would like a salt rim on your glasses, then you can rub each glass with a lime wedge, then dip the glasses in a saucer of flaky sea salt. Put the salted glasses in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to set the rim before using for the cocktail.
