Blood Orange Margarita

2 oz silver tequila
1 1/2 oz lime juice
3/4 oz orange liqueur
1/2 oz simple syrup
1 oz blood orange purée*
lime or blood orange garnish

Combine all ingredients in a shaker filled 2/3 of the way with ice. Strain over ice.

Who can resist blood oranges? This drink is succulently sour with a gorgeous color--definitely a sipper. Enjoy!

*Blood orange purée:
Blend the following until smooth:
4 blood oranges peeled and segmented
1 T simple syrup
1 t lemon juice

Another thing you and Martha have in common (besides your love of fancy cocktails is...blood oranges)! I can't find blood oranges at the stores here. I'm thinking blood oranges in a dessert.
