I’m a martini girl for sure, and I love cocktails with fresh fruit in them. As it turned out, the sweetness of the blood oranges was the perfect counterpart to the zing of the ginger vodka. They were a smash hit! Today I thought I would share the recipe so you can recreate it for your next get together.
First, I begin by making freshly squeezed blood orange juice! If you don’t have a citrus juicer, I highly recommend owning one. You can also use it to juice lemons and limes! I like to make a big batch of this juice so that I have lots of extras if my guests would like more martinis!
Next, I prep my glasses and cocktail shaker. Put two cups of ice in your cocktail shaker and one cup divided between two martini glasses. This is to help the martini glasses to chill before you pour in your cocktail!
Next, start adding all your ingredients to your cocktail shaker! Pour in the Ginger Vodka, Blood Orange juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
Dump the ice out of your martini glasses, and strain your cocktails in to the glasses.
Garnish with thin slicers of blood orange, and serve!
