I love winter time as it moves into spring because that’s when you get spring fruits and vegetables such as Blood Oranges. I love blood oranges and their unique flavor. They are richer and have a smoother taste than your typical navel orange. Plus, they have this beautiful deep red coloring that really catches your eye.

For more fruit-infused margaritas you have to try my Cranberry Margarita, Pineapple Margarita, and Blueberry Margarita.

Recipe Ingredients

Blood Oranges – I recommend using fresh blood oranges but you can also use blood orange juice for this recipe as well.

How to Make a Blood Orange Margarita

Step #4: Pour into your favorite cocktail glass with ice and enjoy!

Expert Tips

Choosing your Blood Oranges – Any blood orange you use will have that classic taste. But note that if the Blood orange is more orange in color the juice will be lighter and you will also get more juice out of the blood orange. If the outside of the orange is more of a darker red color the juice will be darker as well. But there will likely be less juice in these oranges.

Strain Your Blood Orange Juice – If you are using fresh blood oranges to get your juice, be sure to strain it before adding it into your cocktail shaker to remove any pulp or seeds that might come out.

Sweetener – If you don’t have simple syrup on hand you can also use an ounce of agave nectar as a substitute in this recipe.

Recipe Ingredients

Fresh Cucumbers – Gives that crisp clean taste of cucumbers.

Simple Syrup – A hint of sweetness to round out the composition of the martini.

Basil Leaves – Adds a bold, earthy flavor into the martini.

Variation

A classic martini typically uses vermouth which I did not include in this specific recipe. To make this a proper martini, there are a couple steps to follow. First, place your favorite cocktail glass in the freezer. Then, once chilled, remove and add ½ oz of dry vermouth. Swirl the vermouth around the glass and then discard it in the sink.

Step #2: Using a cocktail muddler, muddle cucumbers in the shaker to release the juices for about 1 minute.

Step #4: Using a strainer, pour and strain the martini into a martini glass to catch any cucumber pieces or seeds from muddling.

Step #5: Finally, garnish with a slice of fresh cucumber and basil leaf then serve and enjoy!

Expert Tips

Muddling The Cucumbers – It’s important to chop the cucumbers before adding them to the cocktail shaker. In addition, the longer you muddle the cucumber mixture the more cucumber liquid and flavoring you will have for your cocktail.

Adjust Basil Based on Preference – This recipe calls for 2 basil leaves, but leaves can be anywhere from tiny to giant. I like two average sized leaves because I love basil flavor. Note basil is a strong herb so be sure to use more or less based on your personal preference.
