Moro Blood Orange Simple Syrup & Margarita

Moro Blood Orange Simple Syrup & Margarita

Moro blood oranges are seasonal fruit, so it makes sense to find ways of making that luscious, fragrant flavor last longer. Making a syrup out of Moro blood oranges lets you enjoy the taste beyond the growing season, and you can use it in a variety of ways. You can drizzle it over veggies as part of a delicious vinaigrette, or on ice cream or cake to add a vivid flavor pop to dessert. You can also make cocktails, including martinis, Kir, and this rosy version of a Margarita.

Simple Syrup

  • Measure the water and sugar into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.

  • Remove from the heat, and allow the syrup to cook completely.
  • You can store it in the fridge in a covered container.

Moro Blood Orange Margarita

  • Rim your glass if you wish by swiping it with a wedge of Moro blood orange, and then dipping it in coarse sea salt.
  • Fill a cocktail shaker about halfway with ice, and add the tequila, triple sec, fresh Moro blood orange juice, simple syrup, and lime juice.
  • Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
  • Strain into the rimmed glass over cracked ice, or neat, as you prefer.
  • Garnish with Moro blood orange slices.
