Blood Orange Margaritas

Blood Orange Margaritas are the perfect winter margarita! Fresh blood orange juice, lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur.

I love how pretty blood orange cocktails are. Try Blood Orange 75, Blood Orange Bellinis, and Skinny Blood Orange Margaritas!

First margarita of the year is in the books!

Guys, I am officially ready for summer. For margaritas and pool days and ice cream cones.

I always forget about blood oranges until someone mentions them and then finding blood oranges becomes my official life goal.

I finally found some at Trader Joe’s last weekend and then they just sat, untouched, in the fridge.

Okay, I guess I’ll make margaritas. You twisted my arm!

Ingredients

• Tequila – use your favorite brand of tequila but I do recommend using a clear one.
• Orange liqueur – such as Triple Sec.
• Fresh lime juice – you can use the bottled juice but fresh is the tastiest.
• Fresh blood orange juice – you will need 3 – 4 blood oranges for this recipe.
• Simple syrup – this is a sugar syrup used to sweeten the margarita. You can adjust the amount based on how sweet you like your drinks.
• Blood orange slices – for garnish.

How To Make Blood Orange Margaritas

• Combine. Mix tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and orange juice together. Add simple syrup to desired sweetness.
• Serve. Pour over ice and garnish with blood orange slices.

Can You Make Them Ahead?

If you are planning a party and need to make these ahead, you can mix up the juices, tequila, orange liqueur, and simple syrup up to a couple hours ahead but don’t put them over ice.

When you are ready to serve them, give the mixture a good shake in a shaker and pour it over ice.
