The Blood Orange Margarita keeps the classic tequila-orange-liqueur-lime template and swaps in blood orange for a deeper red citrus note. It is seasonal, photogenic, and still a real margarita rather than a novelty shot. Served on the rocks with a salt rim, it bridges Halloween color with drinkable balance.

Bartender's Note
Blood oranges vary in sweetness; adjust lime so the drink stays tart enough for a margarita.
