Beetroot Margarita

9 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 medium beets
  • 1 lime
  • 2 lemons
  • 1 orange
  • 1 cup blanco tequila
  • 1/2 cup Cointreau
  • ice
  • coarse sea salt
  • additional lime wedges for garnish

Directions

  1. 1
    Using a small sharp knife, remove the peel and pith from the lime, lemons, and orange. Remove the top and bottom of the beets. Chop everything into a few big chunks.
  2. 2
    Blend the beets, lime, lemons, and orange chunks in a blender. Strain well through a mesh strainer, using a rubber spatula to press out the juice. (Or use a juicer.) You should have about 1 cup of citrusy beet juice. (If you don't, don't worry, just follow the 2:2:1 ratio for juice:tequila:Cointreau.)
  3. 3
    Add tequila and Cointreau, and mix in a large bowl with ice until chilled. (Or use a shaker and ice, and shake in batches.)
  4. 4
    Rim the glasses with salt. (Spread salt on a small plate. Rub the rims of four rocks glasses with lime wedges. Turn glasses upside down in the salt.)
  5. 5
    Fill glasses with ice and pour in the beetroot margarita blend. Cheers!
