Ingredients

1 1/2 ounces tequila
1 ounce blood orange juice
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
3/4 ounce Cointreau liqueur

Steps:

Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Tips:

Use fresh blood oranges. The fresher the oranges, the better the flavor of your margaritas will be.
Don't skip the orange zest. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor that really enhances the drink.
Use a good quality tequila. The tequila is the main ingredient in margaritas, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a tequila that is 100% agave and has a smooth flavor.
Make sure your Cointreau is cold. The cold Cointreau will help to keep your margaritas cold and refreshing.
Serve your margaritas with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of salt. This is the classic way to serve margaritas, and it's a great way to add a little extra flavor and acidity to the drink.

Conclusion:

Blood orange margaritas are a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive drink to serve, give blood orange margaritas a try.
