Need a batch cocktail for your Super Bowl party? Look no further than these gorgeous Blood Orange Margaritas for a Crowd.
The countdown to the Big Game is on, and even if you’re not a football fan, you’ll want to throw a party just to make a pitcher of these gorgeous Blood Orange Margaritas for a Crowd!
The beauty of any batch cocktail is that you can make it in advance and enjoy relaxing with your guests rather than tending bar. These Blood Orange Margaritas for a Crowd fit that bill perfectly. And they couldn’t be simpler to put together. Check out our video to see for yourself.
Tip: Not familiar with blood oranges? They have a similar taste to a navel orange with just a hint of berry flavor and a stunningly colored flesh. You might see them labeled as Moro oranges at the store right now. They are in season December through March, so grab them while you can!
You can make these margaritas with silver or reposado tequila, but we prefer the clear silver tequila to keep that beautiful blood orange juice color intact. After all, you eat (or drink) with your eyes first, right?

Hi! This looks awesome! I’m wanting to do it tomorrow for my son’s first birthday party, but since blood oranges are out of season I can’t find the juice or orange anywhere. What are your thoughts on using clementine, tangerine, or cara cara (red navel orange) juice instead? Just wondering how much it would alter the taste and which one would be best to go with. Thank you!
Anna says
Hi Betsy, I would suggest going with Cara Cara oranges. They seem to be the closest in flavor profile (sweet-tart) to blood oranges. Enjoy the party!
Betsy says
Thank you, I’ll let you know how it turns out!
