Notes
Strainer & bar spoon: Having the right tools on hand really helps when it comes to crafting unique cocktails. When using freshly squeezed juice, strain it through a fine mesh strainer to filter out any pulp or seeds before adding it to your cocktail. A long bar spoon also helps with mixing drinks due to its special design. If you're in need of high quality bar tools, we recommend this set from Mixology & Craft - it's been an invaluable addition to our bar cart!
Blood orange juice: You'll get the best flavor from fresh, in-season blood oranges for this recipe! Be careful while juicing them - they can stain easily, so you'll want to watch out for splatter and wash your hands (and counters) thoroughly after making this cocktail.
Simple syrup: You can use store-bought simple syrup, but it's really easy to make at home if you want more control over the amount of sugar in your drink. Learn how to make it here.
