How to Make a Blood Orange Paloma
- Start by squeezing the juice from the blood oranges into a small container; you can strain out the pulp or seeds if you want. Store the juice until you’re ready to use it.
- When you’re set to mix, grab each glass and pour 2 oz of tequila over ice. Add ¼ cup of fresh blood orange juice to each glass. Finish it off by topping each glass with chilled 7UP.
- Don’t forget the finishing touch! Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, and your refreshing drink is ready to be served. Cheers!
Expert Recipe Tips
- Want to cut back on the sugar? Use seltzer water instead of 7UP.
- Not a 7UP fan? Use simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten your cocktail instead.

Okay, so you’re obsessed with mezcal and I’m obsessed with blood oranges! Which means we really need to combine our two drinks (especially since we clearly both use 7UP). This looks great as-is, however…LOVE IT! xoxo
I have a few blood oranges…I foresee a lovely little cocktail later!
I love blood oranges! This spritzer sounds so light and fresh!
