Ingredients

  • 12 blood oranges or regular oranges halved and juiced (about 2 cups; reserve the orange halves)
  • 1/2 cup lemonade or limeade
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 5 tsp. unflavored gelatin from three 1/4-oz. packets
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. blanco tequila
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. triple sec
  • Flaky sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  • Using your fingers and a melon baller, scoop out any remaining flesh and the membranes from each orange half and discard.
  • Divide the orange halves, cut-side up, between two 12-cup muffin pans.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the orange juice and lemonade to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  • Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the juice into a medium bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and gelatin.
  • Add this mixture to the hot juice.
  • Whisk constantly until the sugar and gelatin completely dissolve (2 to 3 minutes).
  • Stir in the tequila and triple sec.
  • Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared orange halves and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
  • Cut each orange half into 3 wedges and serve with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for dipping.
