When you can find fresh blood oranges in season in the late winter or early spring, this cocktail is the perfect way to use them up! I got some absolutely gorgeous blood oranges in my Misfits Market box this week. I made a delicious blood orange salad, a bright & fresh blood orange vinaigrette, and this delicious cocktail.
I was coming up with a fun cocktail last weekend, and wanted to feature the fresh blood oranges along with some vodka. But, unlike a screwdriver, I wanted to add some triple sec and simple syrup too for a fun orange-y twist.

What’s Special about Blood Oranges?
Blood oranges are a variety of orange, which have a deep dark purple interior. They taste very similar to a regular orange, however the color is different from a pigment called anthocyanin inside the orange.
They are sweet and fresh tasting, like a classic navel orange. They are in season in winter, like most citrus fruits, and you can typically find them in stores from December through April.
