Not necessary but what a fine cocktail it made. All I had on hand to make this cocktail was a pricey sipping tequila. Not quite a high caliber sipping tequila but even a bit of aging makes for a much smoother tequila and that improvement is evident in a cocktail. Use good tequila – I didn’t have my standard on hand that I use for margaritas which is Cuervo 1800 a reposado tequila meaning that it’s been aged a bit but less than one year.I don’t see them much at my regular grocery store but have good success at either Sprouts or Whole Foods so take a peek there if you run into the same dilemma they are so worth it.īeyond the oranges I do think a couple of things are imperative for making really good margaritas.

The flavor is different too they have less of a citrus bite to them and are also a bit sweeter. If you’ve never had a blood orange and are wondering why it’s called that, well, now you know. In Denver, 40 is warm and hey, there is no snow, so I’m good with pretending that summer is around the corner! I wish I could tell you it was also balmy and warm outside in January but that would be a lie. I thought this margarita with fresh, seasonal citrus would be great with pork and a fresh slaw. While there is something about that cold and icy drink that’s just perfect for having friends over during warmer months along with guacamole, chips and either fajitas or barbecue ribs, the fact that I’m making country style pork ribs in a pressure cooker today might have something to do with this update. Luckily I have not only have ventured far and wide with fruit choices but if I had never gone beyond summer fruits I would have also never had this amazing cocktail, only possible with the short lived winter blood orange. On top of that I thought margaritas were pretty much a ‘summer only’ cocktail. I remember when I used to be so stuck on my favorite margarita recipe that I seldom ventured far from it. Plus this is such a beautiful and delicious cocktail, I know that new readers will love discovering it! This was originally published eight years ago and the images were ready for a redo. Still, this is a good one and if you need a cocktail this weekend like many of us do, one with the beautiful blood orange fruit is perfect this time of year.Īs I will so often, I’m offering up a really old post as new again.
