If you know me, you know I LOVE citrus. Citrus candles, lotions, body wash, and the fruits themselves are among some of my favorites. Take my love of citrus and pair that with my love for cocktails and you get a Sparkling Blood Orange Cocktail.

This drink has the wonderful citrusy freshness from blood orange AND the lemony zip from limoncello combined with vodka and some bubbly fizz from your favorite carbonated water.

Perfect for warm spring days…until the short blood orange season is over!

Limoncello
Blood orange
Sparkling water – club soda, tonic water, seltzer water, or even a sparkling wine

What are blood oranges?

Blood oranges have a unique color and flavor that really can’t be compared to other fruits.

While citrusy like an orange, blood oranges have a deeper, more ripe flavor that has an almost berry component to it.

Blood oranges are only available from December to April.

Don’t forget about the gorgeous color of this citrus. The beautiful, deep crimson color is just as delicious as it is pretty.

NOTES:

For the bubbly aspect, I like to use tonic water, but feel free to use your favorite carbonated water: seltzer water, club soda, or even a sparkling wine like prosecco, cava or Champagne.

The blood orange’s seasonal clock is ticking, so go get some blood oranges and let’s make a Blood Orange Cocktail.
