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!

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

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.
