With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's time to pucker-up! I made this cocktail for my friend and talented chef, Ryan Scott (yes, from Bravo's "Top Chef", among a zillion other ventures!) while visiting him on his show at KGO radio in San Francisco last week. If you listen to the podcast (Click here!), you'll hear that it was quite a hit!
Now is the perfect time to do a little cocktail experimentation with all your favorites from your local market's citrus section. Blood oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, key limes, meyer lemons - the list goes on! This is my fun twist on the classic margarita and I hope that you'll enjoy it with your favorite friends. Happy Valentine's Day!
