Typically, each orange will yield about 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed juice. You can skip that step if you don’t mind the pulp. I like squeezing the juice and then using a mesh strainer to remove the excess pulp. Still, I’m considering investing in an electric version to make quicker work of the process. I use my handheld lever citrus juicer for juicing the citrus for these margaritas. If it’s a tighter window where you live, I recommend buying several bags and juicing the fruit to freeze, so you can enjoy this blood orange tequila cocktail year round.

When is blood orange citrus season?īlood oranges are typically available from December through April or May, depending on where they’re grown. Where are blood oranges grown?īlood oranges are grown in Mediterranean climates like Spain, Italy and Malta and stateside in Florida, Texas, Arizona and California. We prefer Cointreau, but Grand Marnier and Triple Sec are also good choices. Blanco is lighter and pairs well with the blood orange and tart lime citrus flavors, while reposado gives the drink a more mellow flavor. We’ve enjoyed these blood orange tequila cocktails using both Blanco and Reposado tequila and both are very good. ![]()
