While filming with Berk, we were given a personal tour of Casa Tierra, where he demonstrated his signature hospitality by crafting his go-to drink: a blood-orange ginger margarita. “It’s one of my favorite drinks,” Berk shared.
Crafting the Perfect Margarita
The recipe, as demonstrated by Berk, is surprisingly simple. It begins with preparing the glass by rimming it with salt using blood-orange juice. Ice is then added, followed by a blend of tequila, blood-orange juice, and freshly squeezed lime.
Here’s how to recreate the refreshing cocktail:
- First, line the rim of a glass with salt by dipping it into blood-orange juice and then into salt on a small plate.
- Add ice to the prepared glass.
- In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 1.5 ounces of tequila and 2 ounces of blood-orange juice.
- Squeeze the juice of one full lime directly into the shaker. “It breaks up the thickness of the orange juice,” Berk explained.
- Combine all ingredients in the shaker and pour into the iced glass.
- Top with ginger beer to taste-a crucial step, according to Berk, for achieving a “nice and fizzy” drink.
- Garnish with a dried and candied blood orange.
