Mealtime Magic: Skinny Blood Orange Margarita

You will need:

• Sea salt
• 2 ounces silver tequila
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice
• 1 1/2 ounce fresh blood orange juice (you may substitute regular navel oranges if you can’t find blood oranges)
• 1 to 2 teaspoon agave nectar
• 1 orange round, for garnish

Directions:

Using the IMUSA GlobalKitchen Gourmet Citrus Juicer squeeze the lime and blood orange juices and set aside. Pour some salt onto a small plate. Using the just squeezed lime half and run the wet edge along the rim of your glass. Dip the top of the glass into the salt. Carefully add ice cubes to your glass and set it aside.

Fill a small cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the tequila, freshly squeezed lime, blood orange juice and agave nectar. Shake for 15 to 20 seconds. Strain into your glass and garnish with a slice of blood orange.

Squeezing dozens of lemons for your party sized batch of homemade lemonade (or limes for Margaritas!) can be very time consuming. This Citrus Press makes squeezing citrus a breeze by making sure all of the juice is pressed out without the seeds ending up in your beverage.

This compact design takes up a very small footprint on the counter, and can be used for your fresh-squeezed citrus cravings all year long. Available at Target.com for $47.99
