Blood Orange Manuka Honey Margaritas
We recommend squeezing the lime juice and the blood oranges fresh for ultimate flavour — so go ahead and skip the bottled stuff.
And for those who like a salted rim, this recipe experiments with a blend of both coarse salt and lime zest.
Serves 2.

- 4 oz tequila
- 4 oz fresh blood orange juice
- 2 oz fresh lime juice

Instructions
- Combine the tequila, blood orange juice, lime juice, and honey in your cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice, cover, and shake vigorously until chilled, about 10 seconds.
