Sparkling Blood Orange Margarita Ingredients
Tequila is one of the best drinks around and mixing it into a margarita is heaven. The only thing that can make mixing silver tequila with simple syrup even better is adding fresh blood orange juice and some lime juice.
The important thing is that you have freshly squeezed blood orange juice. What will make this margarita perfect is the margarita salt, the Cointreau orange liqueur, and some club soda.
You can also garnish the drink to make it look nice and pretty with a slice of blood orange and a lime slice as well.
Sparkling Blood Orange Margarita Directions
Pour salt on a small plate. Run a wedge of lime around the rim of your margarita glass.
Dip the glass into the salt so the entire rim is covered in margarita salt. Add ice cubes to the glass and set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the tequila and freshly squeezed blood orange juice and lime juice.
Add the simple syrup and a splash of Cointreau. You can also use Triple Sec in place of the Cointreau if you are desperate, but the Cointreau enhances the orange flavor.
Put the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake the sparkling blood orange margarita for 30 seconds.
Strain the margarita into your glass and garnish with a slice of blood orange or lime.
Add a splash of club soda to top to put the finishing touch on your sparkling blood orange margarita.
