Blood Orange Margarita

Notes of tequila, orangey triple sec, bittersweet liqueur, blood orange and lime juice all sit in perfect kilter in this tasty riff on the classic Margarita

An awesome riff. I love the addition of Campari here — it lends a great bittersweet punchiness and melds perfectly with the blood orange.

For my taste, this drink benefits from a tiny bit more simple syrup OR a slow drinking pace so the ice in the glass lends further dilution. I never seem to manage the later, so I go for the former ;)

Helpful hint for my fellow measurement sticklers: 1/6 oz is 1 tsp.

Thanks Paloma. If you are using 1:1 simple syrup you'll need to use one-third more to equal are rich 2:1 sugar syrup. Useful tip on teaspoon -worth my adding that you can see notes on measures and conversions by clicking "measures and measuring" under every recipe.
