Blood Orange Margarita

This Blood Orange Margarita is a bold, citrusy twist on the classic Marg. Bursting with vibrant color and flavor, the fresh blood orange juice adds a sweet-tart kick, which is perfectly balanced by zesty lime, smooth tequila, and a touch of Cointreau. I serve this stunning, sunset-hued cocktail over ice with a salted rim!
