Run a wedge of lime around the rim of your margarita glass. Dip the glass into the salt to coat the entire rim. Fill the glass with ice cubes and set it aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the tequila, blood orange juice, and lime juice.
Pour in the simple syrup and a splash of orange liqueur.
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 30 seconds.
Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass.
Garnish with a slice of blood orange or lime.
Finish with a splash of club soda for a sparkling touch.
Notes
Pro Tips
Use freshly squeezed blood orange juice for the most vibrant flavor and color.
If blood oranges aren’t in season, substitute with regular orange juice and a dash of cranberry for color.
For a bolder flavor, double the orange liqueur and reduce the syrup.
