BLOOD ORANGE MARGARITA
WITH 2 COMMENTS
Why do I love blood orange margaritas? Blood oranges are gorgeous. I love their red, orange and pink color. Blood oranges are tarter than regular orange juice, so they work to keep the margarita not too sweet, but still refreshing. Make these vibrant cocktails between December and May when blood oranges are in season.

WITH ONE COMMENT

If that is not possible, the drink stands on its own as a little mini-vacay.
