Silver tequila, fresh blood orange and lime, a pinch of salt and orange bitters, topped with sparkling water. Easy-drinking, citrus-forward, built for the winter months when blood oranges are at their best.
From the Chef
Tequila isn’t the first spirit that comes to mind for winter, but citrus season and a good silver tequila go together better than you’d expect. Strain the juice properly before mixing, any pulp fights the sparkling water and clouds what should be a clean, bright drink. The pinch of salt is doing the same work it does in a margarita, rounding out the tequila’s edges, not making the drink taste salty. Barely a pinch is the point.
