Several years ago while I was visiting London, I had the culinary experience of enjoying blood orange juice every morning for breakfast. It was produced by Tropicana and unfortunately, to this date, I am unable to find it locally in the states. A few weeks ago, I found blood oranges at Trader Joe's. I squeezed the juice and froze it, so I could enjoy this delicious Blood Orange Martini anytime.

Ingredients
• 4 ounces citrus flavored vodka
• 1/2 ounce triple sec or flavored orange liqueur
• 2 ounces blood orange juice
• 2 blood orange slices

In a martini shaker combine all ingredients except the blood orange slices with a generous amount of ice. Shake vigorously for a few seconds. Strain the libation from the ice into a martini glass. Rim the top of the martini glass with lemon sugar. Simply rub a lemon lightly along the edge and dip into lemon sugar. Garnish with the blood orange slices.
Hi Lisa! All of these cocktails sound fabulous; light and fruity! I met you at the Tante Marie class in March and have really been enjoying your blog. Keep up the good cooking (and sharing)! Marie
ReplyDeleteI have found blood orange juice at Whole Foods. I use it to make blood orange margaritas!
