Blood Orange Margarita

Blood Orange Margarita, a gorgeous cocktail just perfect to celebrate any day or any occasion!!

Can’t believe Fingers Are For Burning is ready with a whole new look after days of hard work, so happy. And we have a reason to celebrate isn’t!! Had few things in mind, initially it was blood orange cake but then no it did not sound that impressive. What can I make us to celebrate my kind was blank hmmm, I’m sure it does happen to you as well. Blood Oranges in hand and tequila in bar cabinet wow, I knew immediately I have to make nothing else but a cocktail for the occasion.

Look at that gorgeous color, I’m already in love.

Blood Orange Margarita is a truly amazing cocktail. Tequilla, Cointreau and freshly squeezed blood orange juice a combination made to create magic. With blood oranges full on in super stores this pretty looking citrus is best suited for this cocktail. Perfect show stopper for any party.

Our new 3 pm cocktail is just delicious!! The sweetness from the oranges, hint of tanginess of lemons, tequila and orange liquor is truly party of flavors. And the salted rims compliment the nature of tequila. VK had 3 cocktails in a row; I mean it was that good. It hardly needs time to whip this up and you can use other oranges if blood orange isn’t available. You seriously need to try this out.

With Valentine’s Day approaching, make your sweetheart this super gorgeous and delicious cocktail and enjoy the love of your life!!
