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 even have a bikini in my Target.com shopping cart right now.
Which is ridiculous because it’s February 12. And also because I bought two bikinis last year and probably only wore each of them 5 times.
(Truthfully, I bought 2 ½ because the first bottom I bought was called a “cheekster” and it didn’t occur to me that actual cheek would be showing. And no ma’am, that is not happening. Still have it though. In case I ever magically become 20 again.)
I have no need for a new bikini. But I waaaaaaant one so badly.
How To Make Blood Orange Margaritas
Anyway, margaritas!
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!
- Mix tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and orange juice together
- Add simple syrup to desired sweetness
- 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.

Ha! I just saw that the Target Cartwheel app had a bathing suit coupon and I thought the same thing, when can we drink these by the poolside??

I buy new bikinis every year, although I hardly use them. Not sure I’m ready to try one on yet though!! I need a few more gym visits for that…
I am SO ready for margaritas though. All the cold we’ve been getting is killing me and I need to at least drink like I’m somewhere tropical.
