Blood Orange Margarita

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.

Fresh Lime Juice – To add a little tart flavor into the margarita.

Simple Syrup – For a dash of sweetness in this Blood Orange Cocktail

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.
