The Best Orange Margarita Recipe
I tend to be a purist when it comes to margaritas, but when I saw all the Cara Cara oranges at the market the other day, I knew I needed to give a new twist to my margarita recipe.
This recipe is low on sugar, high on fresh citrus, which in my opinion, makes for the best margarita. And they are so easy to make.
Even me, who is not known as a seasoned mixologist gets rave reviews on these! Try this for Cinco de Mayo or your next barbecue with friends. Can’t wait to hear what you think of the best orange margarita recipe!
And you’ve got to try Sara’s Watermelon Margarita, too! It’s so delicious and the perfect summertime spin on a margarita.
