Recipe: Blood Orange Martini
You guys, I concocted this last night and it is DELISH. Yes, the ingredients are v. specific, but blood oranges have a short season (like, now-ish), so hopefully you can take advantage...
Blood Orange Martini
Makes 2
3 ounces citrus vodka (you can sub plain or orange, but citrus makes it!)
1 ounce orange liqueur such as Cointreau or Triple Sec
4 ounces fresh squeezed blood orange juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup*
juice of half a lime
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add all ingredients. Shake and enjoy.
*simple syrup is made using equal parts sugar and water - heat on the stove until just melted and cool. Keeps in the fridge indefinitely - and is greatfor iced coffee or tea, so keep some on hand
