Instructions
The blood Orange, with its sweet, deep Red colored flesh, was most likely the result of a mutation that occurred in 17th century Sicily. Today blood Oranges are common in Mediterranean cuisine.
In most varieties of blood Oranges even the pulp and skin are slightly less sweet and more bitter than other Orange varieties.Make 4-oz of blood Orange simple Syrup by combining the Sugar and blood Orange Juice in a small Sauce pan; simmer over low heat until thick and syrupy. Allow to cool.
Add the above made Syrup, Tequila, Triple Sec and Sour Mix to a pitcher and stir. Pour 6-oz amounts into a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes and shake well. Pour each amount over ice in a Margarita glass; garnish as desired, and serve.
About Blood-Orange Margarita
The Blood-Orange Margarita is a vibrant and citrusy twist on the classic margarita, featuring the distinctive flavor of blood oranges. This cocktail is a refreshing blend of 4 ounces of thawed orange puree, 8 ounces of premium tequila, 7 ounces of triple sec, and 6 ounces of sweet and sour mix, all balanced with the addition of 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. The blood orange adds a rich, slightly tart, and sweet flavor profile that elevates the traditional margarita, providing a unique and visually striking drink with its deep red hue. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy a bold citrus flavor with the smoothness of premium spirits.
The margarita itself is a popular cocktail with origins often traced back to the 1930s or 1940s, with several stories claiming its invention. It traditionally consists of tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, served with a salted rim. The Blood-Orange Margarita builds on this classic base by incorporating blood orange puree, which has gained popularity for its unique flavor and color. This variation has become a favorite for those looking to enjoy a more complex and fruit-forward version of the beloved margarita, perfect for summer gatherings or any festive occasion.
This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Margarita Glass, though any glass works!
Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
