Teremana Blood Orange Margarita
About
The Blood Orange Margarita is sunshine in a pitcher - equal parts bold, tangy, and stunningly vibrant. This large-batch take on the classic margarita blends the smooth depth of Teremana Blanco Tequila with the rich, ruby hue and citrusy sweetness of fresh blood orange juice. Lime juice sharpens the edge while agave nectar smooths it all out for a drink that’s beautifully balanced and undeniably crowd-pleasing.
It’s the kind of cocktail that turns a gathering into a celebration - easy to make, easy to sip, and impossible to forget. Every pour delivers a burst of citrus with that signature agave warmth underneath, making it ideal for brunches, parties, or any occasion that calls for a splash of color and good energy. The Blood Orange Margarita isn’t just a drink - it’s the mood-setter, the ice-breaker, and the reason your guests ask for seconds.
