This stunning beet margarita is perfect for the heat and puts good use to leftover beet juice. The orange and lime juice provide a nice kick, nothing too strong. Agave sweetens those flavors out. Combine these with tequila and ice in a cocktail tin and you’re halfway there! Watch the drink turn scarlet as you pour beet juice over top. Throw on a lime wheel and remember to salt the rim for killer presentation. This beet margarita recipe from Charleston‘s Basic Kitchen is a no-mess delight that works for any season.
