Blood Orange Margarita Recipe
Are you guys ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Because I have the most perfect and delicious cocktail for you: Blood Orange Margarita!! In the past weeks, I’ve developed a few recipes, for another site, with blood oranges and since then I have fallen in love with this citrus. For those who are not familiar with these fruits, blood orange is a variety of orange with blood-colored flesh and delicious raspberry-like notes. This Blood Orange Margarita is sinfully delicious!! It has a perfect balance: refreshing, sweet, and hinted with lime. It really is a party in your mouth. I mean, just look at that color!!!
Blood oranges are in season from December through May, but if you can’t find them, or you want to enjoy this cocktail when they’re out of season, you can use this juice. It tastes very good and it’s available all year long, just make sure to reduce the amount of simple syrup as the juice has some sugar added.
There’s so much going on here: citrus orange flavors, tart lime juice, sweet, and of course tequila. A bonus ingredient: Cointreau liqueur. Have you had this stuff yet? Besides being a component of several well-known cocktails it also is drunk as an apéritif and digestif. It’s DELICIOUS. I am confident that if you mix up a pitcher of these, they would disappear in no time, alongside the chips and salsa, of course. After all, there is nothing better than a salty-sweet margarita and some chips and guacamole/salsa, right?
Whether you’re flying solo on the deck or hanging with friends, they’ll be an instant hit. Perfect for kick-starting your weekend!!!
