Blood Orange Margaritas




Yesterday was National Margarita Day and as I was scrolling and drooling over all the images of margaritas  plastered over social media obviously I had to have one!  I wanted to experiment with a flavor I had not yet tried so when I saw this margarita from Confections of a Foodie Bride's blog I knew this one was it!  I have had blood oranges only a handful of times and since they happen to be in season and available in the grocery store it was a no-brianer.  They totally lived up to my expectations they were so good and her recipe was perfect for 2 margaritas.  I will definitely make sure there is a reminder on my calendar for next year's for National Margarita Day!


Ingrdients

3 oz. tequila
2 oz. orange liqueur
2 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice
4 oz. fresh-squeezed blood orange juice, about 4 oranges
1 oz. simple syrup
Blood orange slices for garnish

Directions
In a large cocktail shaker add a small amount of ice, the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, blood orange juice and simple syrup.  Shake well.  Pour over small glasses filled with ice and rimmed with salt.  Garnish with blood orange slice.
