Blood Orange Margarita

I know that some of you can't attend my cooking classes but do enjoy receiving recipes from me now and then. So, here is a recipe I created last week for a special birthday drink.

SPARKING BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA      Makes 1 large drink.
2 oz. (1/4 cup) Blanco Tequila
1/2 oz. (1 T.) Cointreau or Citronage
2 T. fresh lime juice (Reserve rind to rim glass)
3 oz. (6 T.) sparkling Blood Orange Italian Soda (Trader Joe's)
Equal parts sugar and salt for rim
 
Run the juiced lime around the edge of a glass. Dip in a combo of sugar and salt. Fill a glass with ice. Add all ingredients and stir gently; enjoy!
