Instructions

To make the Honey-Ginger Simple Syrup

Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir together until honey is dissolved into the water. Bring to simmer over medium heat. Simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Allow syrup to cool until room temperature. Remove and strain out ginger pieces. Store syrup in the refrigerator in a mason jar with lid or another air-tight glass storage container.

To make the margarita

In a cocktail shaker add one scoop of ice, simple syrup, tequila, blood orange juice and the lime juice and shake well to combine. Place salt on a shallow plate. Rub the top edge of a margarita glass with a lime wedge. Dip that edge of the glass into the salt. Fill glass with ice. Repeat with remaining glass. Pour and divide cocktail over the ice in the glasses and garnish with a blood orange slice.
