hello and welcome back to a leonis
kitchen as you can clearly see I'm not
in my kitchen today I am actually on
location and I'm going to be making a
blood orange spicy margarita this
margarita is so tasty made with fresh
ingredients and a perfect for Cinco de
Mayo so let's get started the first
thing we need to do and making our
margarita is start muddling together
some things so to make it spicy I'm
using jalapeno and I'm doubling my
recipe today but if you just are making
it for one person you can cut it in half
so I used about 3/4 of my jalapeno
because I like it spicy but this one is
up to you depending on how spicy you
like your margarita and to that I also
added a big handful of fresh cilantro
and I muddled it all together I don't
know if you can see it but it's quite
crushed up and to that I'm going to be
adding the rest of my ingredients the
first thing I'm going to do to make my
margarita is zest about half of a lime
and this I'm actually going to put on
the rim of my glass with the salt to
give just a little extra flavor and then
I'm gonna take my lime and juice it into
my margarita so today I'm using the
juice of one whole lime just because I
love the flavor of lime and to make
these blood orange margaritas we have to
have our blood oranges I really love
these types of oranges I think they have
a really great flavor and I also love
the color so that's an added bonus so
I'm going to be adding it freshly
squeezed blood oranges and I've already
done this because it takes me quite a
long time to do and I have 4 ounces of
it and I'm just gonna pour it into my
shaker and along with that to add the
sweetness I'm just using some agave so
I'm going to be adding in 2 tablespoons
of agave but you can add more or less
depending
how sweet you like yours also let me
know if you like this location I'm
trying to branch out and go to new
places so let me know what you think now
the most important part of the margarita
in my opinion is the boots so today I'm
just using tequila and I'm going to be
adding in one and a half ounces
[Music]
perfectly actually wait I'm doubling the
recipe I'm adding three next I'm going
to be adding in my triple sec and I have
one ounce of triple sec that I'm going
to be adding in now the last thing I'm
going to do before I can have my
margarita is do my salt rim for the
glass so I'm just gonna pour pretty good
amount of salt probably more than I need
into my lime zest give it a little shake
so it's all combined like so and now I'm
just gonna wet the rim of my glass a
little bit and the margaritas right here
so work promised you my hands are clean
and I'm just going to dip it into my
salt and give it a little quick
voila here we have our salt rimmed glass
and also what I like to do just as a
little garnish is put a little slice of
orange on the side of it gotta make it
look fancy right like so and now the
last part having my margarita and
shaking it all together and now the last
thing I'm going to do before I can drink
my margarita is add just a pretty good
pour of Grand Marnier just a splash on
top to give it a really nice flavor
there we go while up let's see how she
tastes this is always my favorite part
I'm not gonna lie
so tasty so fruity you have that little
kick from the jalapeno which I love and
I love having a salt rimmed glass
because that's a extra punch of salt
it's so tasty I hope you guys enjoy it
