Cocktails | Blood Orange Martini

Posted on Mar 29, 2011

I got the idea when I was at a farmers market and saw some blood oranges. They have a berry flavor so I thought they would make a good martini. Turns out I am not the first person to think of it, but this is my own mix. Yummy!

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

4 ounces premium vodka (Citrus preferred)

4 ounces freshly squeezed blood orange juice

1/2 ounce Cointreau

2 ounces simple syrup (vary according to taste)

 

Method

Combine ingredients and ice cubes in a martini shaker. Shake until very cold and strain into chilled glasses.
