I remember the first time I had a blood orange. I didn’t know what I had picked up when I bagged up some oranges and was quite surprised when I sat down on the couch and opened it up. Now, each winter I look forward to when Blood Oranges make their debut since they add a fun flavor to this traditional fruit.
This past weekend I was thinking of something to make with these delicious fruits and decided to make a margarita!
Blood Orange Frozen Margarita
Blood Orange Frozen Margarita
A delicious cocktail featuring blood oranges.
Author: Kendra
Recipe type: Cocktail
Ingredients
- Juice from 4 Blood Oranges
- ⅓ cup Lime Juice
- 2 Tablespoon Sugar
- 1 cup Tequila
- ¼ cup Triple Sec
- ½ cup Orange Juice
- 3 cups ice
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all ingredients. Blend until smooth (especially the ice). I have a Ninja one (similar) that works awesome. It has 3 blades along the shaft that really breaks up the ice.
This Blood Orange margarita was delicious! Brad was a fan of them as well.
Have you enjoyed some Blood Oranges this winter? What is your favorite way to enjoy them?

We love blood oranges too & am looking for more ways to use them. Thanks for linking it to the Craftastic Monday Link Party at Sew Can Do. I’d love to feature this next week, but can’t find any party page or links anywhere on your blog. I always pin and individually tweet my link features so I’d hate for you to miss out on being featured and getting some extra shout-outs for your great project.
