Blood Orange Margaritas are made with freshly squeezed blood orange and lime juices mixed with tequila and orange liqueur to create a flavorful drink that can be served on the rocks or frozen
Dip the rim of the glass in blood orange juice followed by sugar. Set aside until ready to use.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the tequila, orange liqueur, blood orange juice, and lime juice. Shake well -- about 30 seconds.
Strain into rimmed glass and enjoy. Garnish with a slice of blood orange or lime.
I recommend using freshly squeezed juice in this recipe -- it really makes a huge difference in the flavor!
I used Grand Marnier, but you could also use Cointreau or triple sec.
You can substitute the Citrus Liqueur and Lime juice for 2 ounces of pre-made margarita mix if you have some on hand.
For a bubbly margarita, add a splash of club soda or blood orange-flavored sparkling water or seltzer.
Nutritional information does not include the sugar rim. A salt rim may also be used.
