Blood Orange Margarita

Inspired by the rise in margarita deliveries in Tea Sip's hometown during these social distancing times, our Blood Orange Margarita is a delicious twist on the classic frozen margarita. This is the perfect indulgence for the steadily increasing outdoor temperatures, and let's be honest, we don't need an excuse for a good margarita! Especially a margarita that is super refreshing and simple to make. Our Blood Orange tisane—a blend of zingy hibiscus, fragrant lemongrass, zesty orange peel—provides a tart and slightly sweet alternative to using a pre-made margarita mixer. Just delicious goodness with no added sugar, no extra calories, and no preservatives! You’ll be thinking the only thing better than this margarita is two! ;-)
