Preparation
Step 1
If you’d like to rim your glass, do this first. Cut a wedge from a lime and rub the cut side of the lime along the rim of your favorite glass. Pour tajín (or sea salt) onto a plate and dip the wet glass rim into the tajín to coat it.
Step 2
Add tequila, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, blood orange juice and jalapeño slices to a cocktail shaker. Then add about ½ cup of ice cubes to the shaker, cover tightly, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Step 3
Add ice to two glasses then immediately pour the margarita mixture over, garnish with blood orange slices. Enjoy!
