Blood Orange Martini with Organic Gin
I love using blood oranges for cocktails because they add a splash of drama and color to the evening. I always prefer to use freshly-squeezed juice, and then some fruit slices as garnish. This cocktail recipe is super simple but full of sweet citrus flavor, the orange and lime really complement each other.
This cocktail also features organic gin from Prairie, but you can substitute any gin alcohol that you have on-hand. I also used vintage martini glasses I purchased from Etsy. Check out my Cocktails and Bartender Etsy Collection here!
