Description

The Bloody Margarita is a spooky and delicious cocktail that combines the classic flavors of a margarita with a hint of red wine for a “bloody” effect. Perfect for Halloween or any time you want a drink that’s equal parts bold and fun. The tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur are balanced with a touch of red wine for a hauntingly beautiful presentation.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 oz tequila (silver or blanco)
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 oz orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (or adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 oz red wine (such as a fruity red like Merlot or Shiraz, for “bloody” effect)

Instructions

  1. Rim a margarita glass with salt by running a lime wedge around the rim, then dipping it in salt. Set aside.

  3. Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass.

Notes

  • For a sweeter drink, add a bit more simple syrup to taste.
  • Try different red wines to find your favorite; fruity wines work especially well with this recipe.
