Instructions
Here’s how to mix up your perfect Blood Orange Tequila Fizz!
- Start by adding ice to your shaker. Pour in the tequila, blood orange juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Now, shake it up vigorously to mix all the ingredients well. I like to shake until the outside feels cold and frosty.
- Next, strain the mixture into your glass filled with ice.
- Top it off with club soda for that delightful fizz.
- Garnish with a blood orange slice or a mint leaf for a fancy touch.
Sip, savor, and enjoy! If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think. Feel free to leave your thoughts! 🍹
Notes
When choosing tequila, I suggest using a high-quality silver or blanco for the best flavor. Blood oranges are in season from December to May, so they're freshest during those months. For the simple syrup, you can easily make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and water.
If you'd like to make it a bit sweeter, adjust the simple syrup to taste. And remember, always enjoy responsibly. 🥳
