Orange Margaritas

Classic margaritas with an orange twist! These Orange Margaritas are made with fresh orange juice, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. They’re served over ice with a salt rim.

As much as I love a classic lime margarita, sometimes you just need to change things up. I love these orange margaritas because they aren’t SO different from the classic but just different enough.

Ingredients

• Limes – this recipe calls for the juice from the limes and also wedges of lime to rim the glasses and garnish the margaritas.
• Orange juice – I highly recommend using freshly squeezed orange juice but I have been known to use the bottled tangerine juice from Trader Joe’s.
• Tequila – use whatever your favorite brand is. I do recommend a clear one.
• Orange liqueur – such as Triple Sec.
• Simple syrup – this is a mixture of equal parts water and sugar simmered until it becomes a syrup. You can make your own or buy it.
• Salt – you only need this if you plan to rim your glasses with salt.

How To Make Orange Margaritas

• Combine. Combine lime juice, orange juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and simple syrup.
• Rim glasses. Run a lime wedge along the rim of your glasses and then dip in a plate of coarse salt.
• Serve. Spoon ice in each cup and pour margaritas over top. Garnish with extra lime wedges.
