My contribution is a Blood Orange Gose Margarita. I was inspired by a Blood Orange Gose beer from Anderson Valley Brewing Company. This beer is tart, fruity, and refreshing and in my opinion a perfect addition to this margarita (and magically delicious on its own).
Happy Margarita Week and have a fun and safe Cinco de Mayo celebration! Cheers!
Blood Orange Gose Margarita
Ingredients
- Juice of 1 blood orange about 6 tablespoons
- 8 ounces silver tequila
- 4 ounces triple sec
- 1 can blood orange gose beer
- Margarita salt for the rim
- Lime and blood orange slices to garnish optional
Instructions
-
Combine blood orange juice, tequila, and triple sec in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake
-
Pour some beer in a bowl and margarita salt in another bowl
-
Dip the rims of two tall pint size glasses into the beer then the salt to coat
-
Add ice to the glasses, pour tequila mixture over ice, top with remaining beer, garnish with orange and lime slices if using
NOTES:
- This recipe made two Blood Orange Gose Margaritas
- I didn’t use lime juice because this beer is a sour style gose and it’s a perfect balance to the sweetness of the juice and triple sec
- I used Blood Orange Gose from Anderson Valley Brewing Company – I usually stick to North Carolina breweries, but I also happen to really love Anderson Valley and we can actually get it here
