Yield: 1 medium or 2 small servings
Ingredients
- Juice from 2 blood oranges (approximately 1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon of raw honey OR simple syrup
- Juice from 2 small limes (approximately 4 tablespoons)
- 2 ounces of silver 100% agave tequila
- 1 ounce of Grand Marnier, or another orange liqueur (optional)
- Splash of carbonated water (optional)
- Coarse sea salt, for the rim

Recommended Equipment
Stainless Steel Cocktail shaker
Or if you're really cool, a Mason Jar Shaker
Directions
- Pour a circle of coarse salt into a small plate or saucer. Rub a lime or blood orange wedge around the rim of your glass (or dip the rim into a small bowl of citrus juice) and press the glass' rim into the salt, twisting the glass around slightly until there's a small coating of salt around the rim. Fill your glass with ice and set aside.
- In a separate container, mix the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and blood orange juice. If you're using fresh fruit, make sure to roll the oranges and limes out on the counter with the palm of your hand to redistribute the juices before cutting them open. Measure in the raw honey (do not heat it) and stir until combined. It may take 30-60 seconds to dissolve, possibly longer if the OJ and tequila are chilled.
- Optionally, top off the drink with a splash of carbonated water. If you want it extra cold, shake the margarita over ice before pouring into the salt-rimmed glass to serve.
