I am a very traditional “salt, on-the-rocks” girl, but these blood orange margaritas are also great with a sugar rim! Feel free to use regular oranges, or another type of citrus, if blood oranges are out of season.

Blood Orange Margaritas

Ingredients

Instructions

1
|
Begin by juicing your blood oranges and limes. To make the margarita mix, combine the blood orange juice, lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and simple syrup in a small pitcher. Taste, and add more simple syrup, alcohol, or juice as necessary. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

To assemble the margaritas, place about 2 Tablespoons of margarita salt or sugar on a plate, and gently tap the plate to spread it out. Rub the rim of four margarita glasses with a wedge of lime. Press the rim of the glasses into the salt or sugar to ensure an even coat. Fill each glass with ice, and add 5.25 ounces of the margarita mix. Garnish with a blood orange wedge or lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Blood Orange Freshness Hack 🍊
    Choose blood oranges that are firm but slightly soft when gently squeezed, and always juice them at room temperature to maximize juice extraction.
  • Salt Rim Pro Technique 🧂
    Use kosher or sea salt and run a fresh lime wedge around the glass rim for perfect adhesion, then chill the glasses for 10 minutes before serving to keep the salt crisp.
  • Tequila Quality Matters 🥃
    Always opt for 100% agave silver tequila, which provides a cleaner, more authentic flavor profile that complements the blood orange's natural sweetness.
  • Simple Syrup Secret 🍯
    Make your own simple syrup by using a 1:1 ratio of water to sugar, and infuse it with a small strip of orange zest for an extra layer of citrus complexity.
  • Chill Factor Technique ❄️
    Pre-chill your cocktail shaker and glasses with ice water for 2-3 minutes before mixing to ensure your margarita stays perfectly cold without over-diluting.
