But I just can’t help myself.
And you shouldn’t be able to either.
Blood Orange Margaritas
makes a single serving
1 1/2 ounces tequila (silver or gold, based on your preference)
1 ounce grand mariner
1 1/2 ounces simple syrup
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 1/2 ounces blood orange juice (about 1-2 oranges)
salt for the rim, lime/orange wedges for garnish
Rim the ridge of your glass with a lime wedge and dip in margarita salt. I actually combined the salt with some blood orange sugar, but that’s up to you. Fill the glass with ice. In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, grand marnier, simple syrup, blood orange and lime juice with ice, and shake for about 30 seconds. Pour over ice and squeeze in lemon and orange slices.
Seriously!

I LOVE blood oranges and LOVE margaritas! Does it get any better than that? These look so delicious! I think I might run to the store to get the missing ingredients.

This recipe is amazing! My husband now asks regularly for these. I juice extra oranges and limes and freeze it. That way we have it available when we get a craving.
