Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sea salt with 1 tablespoon Tajín. Stir until well distributed. Pour some of the chili salt on a plate. Rub a lime wedge around the edge of a rocks glass or margarita glass. Roll the rim of the glass in the chili salt to coat the rim.

- Add ice to the prepared rocks glass. Strain the cocktail into the glass. Top with orange bitters.
- Garnish with slices of lime and blood orange.
Notes
Want something sweeter? Rim your glass with sugar instead of salt and chili-lime seasoning.
For a non-alcoholic margarita: Use a zero-proof spirit to replace the tequila and a splash of orange juice instead of triple sec.
