A Bloody Good Rita

Last Friday, I met my girls at Benjy's for happy hour. I had three, yes three, Blood Orange Margaritas and they were divine. If you are looking for a kickin' new cocktail, check out this recipe.

Frozen Blood Orange Margarita:

1/2 cup fresh blood orange juice
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 cups ice
1 cup Triple Sec
1 cup white tequila
4 frozen margarita glasses

Combine the blood orange juice, lemon juice, Triple Sec, and ice in a blender and puree until completely blended. Add the tequila and puree for 2 seconds more.
Alternatively, combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, shake hard to form ice crystals.
Pour or strain into a prepared frozen margarita glasses or glasses filled with ice and serve.

Makes 4 drinks.
