Slurpilicious Friday Fixins

Its another extemely warm and sunny Friday that heralds in the the Labor Day weekend. The day has skulked away aimlessly wandering away two steps backward to every one forward. I have been carpooling much more since gas has become unreasonably priced. I am sure there are several blogs there; but some other time. This Friday, I will focus on something more siptuous. Alas on to the...Friday Fixins!

Directions:

In a large pitcher, mix the juices, Cointreau and tequila. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
Spread a small mound of salt on a small plate. Moisten the outer rim of martini glasses with the orange wedge, then dip the rims into the salt to lightly coat.
Add ice to the pitcher and stir well, then strain into prepared glasses. Garnish each drink with a blood orange slice and sage sprig.
Serve immediately; repeat as desired.
