There’s nothing like the sweet raspberry-citrus flavor of a blood orange, and when winter citrus season rolls around, it must be taken full advantage of. We like incorporating them into our favorite dessert, cocktails! A sweet and tangy margarita showcases the blood orange’s flavor perfectly! Refreshing, fruity, and a gorgeous hue of pink we find simply irresistible.
