Blood Orange Agave Margaritas

The Margarita-- classic, delicious, and in my opinion the ultimate versatile cocktail. There are so many ways to add your own unique twist on the beloved Mexican drink, and over the years I've tweaked the recipe several times to find something just right for when I'm craving a margarita, but something a little more than a classic margarita. This blood orange agave margarita is the perfect blend of tart and sweet, and of course it packs a good punch. The optional egg white is another great addition-- I love that frothy, foamy texture and it's a great surprise for guests when entertaining. 

Ingredients:
Makes one cocktail

2- 2.5 oz good tequila blanco
2 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz pure blood orange juice
Drizzle of agave nectar/syrup
.5 oz egg white (optional for froth) 

Add all ingredients to cocktail shaker with ice and serve immediately over ice in salt rimmed glass, if desired.
