Texas Red River Margaritas

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. + standing YIELD: 2 servings.
When I lived in Texas, I decided to create a cocktail that represented my new home. I've found that blood orange juice works just as well as the grapefruit juice in this spicy margarita recipe. —Danny Schneider, Omaha, NE
