Blood Orange Margarita

water

sugar

For the Rim

Margarita or Kosher Salt and Sugar combination (half of each) - I love the large cake decorating sugar crystals available at Michael's for the sugar but table sugar will work too.

fresh blood orange juice (2-3 oranges)

fresh lime juice

orange liqueur

simple syrup (see above)

To Garnish

Orange slices and lime wedges for garnish
