The good news is that the flavor is amazing no matter what kind you get your hands on.
#Blood orange margarita full#
The flesh can range from orange with a tinge of red, to full on blush colored, to deep dark purple, almost black. There are multiple varieties, and it isn’t always easy to tell them apart, unless they’re labeled. If you’ve bought blood oranges before you might have been surprised that they don’t always look the same inside. It’s the same pigment in blueberries, black rice, and even purple pansies! The ‘blood’ in blood oranges refers to the red color in the flesh, and that comes from a pigment called anthocyanin. Blood oranges aren’t available all year long, and that just makes this taste all the better. It’s seasonal, the best kind of cocktail. Yes it happens to be stunningly gorgeous, but it’s a real cocktail: the tequila and triple sec see to that. The fresh squeezed blood orange juice is floral, lightly acidic, and provides just the right amount of sweetness. I don’t like overly sweet cocktails and so while a lot of Margarita recipes use simple syrup, I don’t add it here. I had one at a favorite restaurant the other night and after one sip I knew I had to recreate it and share it with you guys. I’m usually a wine drinker, but this divine blood orange Margarita has got me reconsidering all that. We can’t let citrus season pass without a great cocktail, and this one definitely delivers. Not to mention that awesome color ~ it practically glows! My Blood Orange Margarita Cocktail is the drink of the winter season, the delicate sweetness of blood orange juice takes this classic cocktail to a whole new level.
