Blood Orange Margaritas
It’s almost the weekend! We are going to celebrate with these amazing Blood Orange Margaritas!
I first discovered blood oranges just a couple of years ago. If you have never tried one, I recommend you run out and get some ASAP! Aside from their gorgeous red color, they have this incredible almost raspberry-like flavor that is just to die for!! Unfortunately, Arizona’s supply is not that impressive, but I recently found some decent ones at my store and stocked up.
I wanted to make a frozen margarita, but if that’s not your thing, you can certainly make this recipe on the rocks instead of blending with ice. I added agave nectar to sweeten these margs, but you could also use simple syrup if desired. I contemplated adding some triple sec, but honestly, that delicious blood orange juice speaks for itself and so triple sec just didn’t seem necessary! Blood Oranges are so perfect for margaritas. I am madly in love with that deep red color!
Blood Orange Margaritas
Ingredients
- sugar for the rim (raw or granulated)
- 1 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 3 ounces silver tequila
- agave nectar to taste (or simple syrup)

Instructions
- Add the sugar to a small dish. Use a damp paper towel and rub it around the rims of two glasses to moisten. Then dip the rims into the sugar and set aside.
- Add all of the remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth and pour into glasses. Feel free to adjust agave nectar and amount of ice as desired. Garnish with blood orange or lime wedges.
