• 0.75 oz blood orange juice
• 0.25 oz meyer lemon juice
• 0.5 oz lime juice
• 0.75 oz red chili flake-ginger syrup

Shake all ingredients with ice and pour over fresh ice into a rocks glass.

Garnish with blood orange chip, orange chip, and chili salt crusted lime.

Note: You're encouraged to eat the garnishes while enjoying the cocktail!

For Chili Salt Limes:
