[DRINK] Aries Elixir Cocktail – Delicious Blood Orange, Tequila Cocktail

Okay, I know it’s not Aries season… but when I saw these blood oranges at the market, I had to make something. And this cocktail is totally up my alley (looking at you, tequila).

The Aries Elixir is citrusy, lightly spiced, and has just enough fizz to keep things fun. The blood orange adds a gorgeous colour and a slightly tart twist, while the tajin rim gives it that salty-savoury vibe I love.

It’s fresh, bold, and honestly the kind of drink I’d happily sip all year round — not just during fire sign season.

• Garnish with a blood orange wedge — always pretty!
