Orange Margarita

I love margaritas. I love all flavors of that margarita cocktail. I decided I wanted to create an orange margarita.

An orange margarita sounds nice but blood orange cocktail sounds better. Blood Oranges have this pretty wine color to them and they make the best orange margarita.

Citrus Margarita

Wait! doesn’t isn’t margaritas already a citrus margarita? Yes but an orange margarita recipe is more orange than lemon. When you want to make a citrus margarita, depending on what flavor you want to bring out, you use more of that citrus.

Blood Orange Cocktail

I saw a segment years ago on a cooking show where they were using a blood orange in a blood orange cocktail. I thought the wine color of the blood orange was just beautiful. That image of the blood orange cocktail ended up being stuck in the back of my head after that.

My grocery store got in a shipment of blood oranges. I finally got to try this beautiful wine colored piece of citrus. Let’s say it was love at first taste of a blood orange juice.

Blood Orange Drinks

This will be my second recipe to feature blood oranges, the first was the Orange Snowball Cookies. I saw a blood orange drinks at the store. Bolthouse Farms now has a blood orange juice.
