It's been a long week and you deserve a drink.
This citrus-y delight is a great way to unwind.
And you know what? It's a pretty low calorie cocktail, to boot.
Ok, run out and get these ingredients, because it's 5 o'clock somewhere.
Blood Orange Margarita
1 shot=2 tbsp (in case you don't have a shot glass)
1-2 shots of gold tequila
1/2 shot of triple sec (or Cointreau)
1/2 shot of lime juice (or the juice of 1/2 a small lime)
1 shot of blood orange juice (squeezed from about 3-4 oranges)
diet lemon lime soda
ice
sugar for the rim
Put some water on your finger & rim your glass in water and dip in sugar.
Fill glass with ice.
In a pitcher or cocktail shaker (or an old sports bottle, if you are classy like me), combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice and blood orange juice. Shake until combined. Pour over ice and top with lemon lime soda to taste.

I hope everyone liked blood orange week :)
