Begin by juicing your citrus. One juicy blood orange will generally yield about 2 ounces of juice. One lime will generally yield about 1 ounce of juice.

Next, prepare two cocktail glasses. Chill them by filling with ice and shaking with your hand on top of the glass before then discarding the ice.

If you like to drink your margaritas with salt on the rim, combine a couple of teaspoons of kosher salt with a teaspoon of pimente d’espelette in a saucer wider than your glass. You don’t need to be exact with the measurements.

Then run a wedge of orange around the rims of your glasses, and dip the rims into the mixture.

Fill glasses with ice.

To prepare the margaritas, combine tequila, triple sec, blood orange juice, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker over ice.

Shake well so that the liquid becomes quite cold, then strain into prepared glasses.

Serve each with a wedge of blood orange.
