Ingredients
- 1 tsp clear honey
- finely grated zest and juice 1 orange
- 1 tbsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 200ml tequila
- juice 1 lime
- 200ml cranberry juice
- 50ml triple sec
- ice
- a fine paintbrush
Method
Using a fine, clean paintbrush, paint a thin layer of honey around the rim of 4 Margarita or Martini glasses. In a saucer, combine the orange zest, salt and sugar, then turn the glasses upside down and dip them into the mixture. Put the glasses in the fridge to chill.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the orange juice, tequila, lime juice, cranberry juice, triple sec and ice, and shake to combine. When the outside of the shaker feels cold, strain the mixture into your prepared glasses and serve.
