Cara Cara Margarita

It’s no secret that I love margaritas and pretty much any cocktail with tequila in general. Tequila is one of those perfect spirits that you really can pair with an endless list of flavors. One of those many flavors that pairs perfectly with tequila is citrus. Not really a surprise considering lime juice is a key ingredient but nonetheless the flavor combination is a classic and perfection!

I’ve updated the classic margarita with the sweet juice of Cara Cara oranges. Now, if you’ve never had a Cara Cara orange I strongly encourage you going to the store and load your basket with as many as you can. They have a beautiful coral color and their flavor is incredible. They’re like eat a juicy piece of candy. Anyways, this margarita is so refreshing and crisp, it’s the perfect cocktail to enjoy on a beautiful spring day. Once you taste it you’re going to be freezing cara cara orange juice so you’re able to have it year round.
