These orange margaritas are a refreshing twist on the popular drink! Make an individual serving or a big pitcher for a party!
These orange margaritas are dangerous because they go down so easily!
They’re simple cocktail recipe to make and taste so refreshing in the heat of summer.
We don’t keep a lot of alcohol in stock at our house, but we seem to always have the ingredients for margaritas because there are just so many different ways to make them and they’re all delicious!
Ingredients for Margaritas
The main ingredients for margaritas are tequila and triple sec.
Triple sec is a sweet liqueur that is used in all kinds of cocktails like sangria, long island iced teas, cosmopolitans and margaritas!
It’s a pretty key ingredient for margaritas and very inexpensive, so don’t skip it!
After the tequila and triple sec, your other ingredients are going to depend on what flavor of margarita you want to make. Lime is a pretty common ingredient no matter what the main flavor of your margarita is.
For this version we went with… drumroll, please… ORANGE!
It’s refreshing and something we nearly always have on-hand since my husband loves his juice in the morning.
Salting the Rim of Your Glass
I’m going to be honest, I prefer to sugar the rim of my margarita glass but I know salt is the most popular. In my pictures, that’s coarse sugar you’re looking at (hence the thick rim).
Whether you choose salt or sugar, the process is the same.
Pour the salt or sugar into a small dish. Cut a wedge out of your lime and run it along the rim of your glass.
Then, flip your glass upside down into the dish and press to coat it.
Recipe for Orange Margarita
In a shaker, add the following:
- 2.5 ounces tequila
- 1.5 ounces triple sec
- 4 ounces orange juice
- 1 ounce lime juice
Put the lid on really tight and shake it up then pour it over ice.
Cheers! You just have yourself a refreshing cocktail.
