Blood Orange French 75
Celebrate with a sparkling, pink French 75 made with blood oranges, gin and Champagne.
Ingreadient
- 1 ½ ounces gin
- 1 small blood orange (about the size of a lemon), juiced
- ½ small lemon, juiced
- Agave nectar or simple syrup (optional), to taste
- 3 ounces Champagne or sparkling wine
- Ice
Direction
- Fill a Champagne flute or comparably sized glass less than halfway with crushed ice (optional).
- Fill a small cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the gin and the blood orange and lemon juice. Shake well. Taste and add agave nectar or simple syrup if necessary, to taste.
- Strain the gin mixture into the glass. Top with Champagne. Garnish with a blood orange twist (you’ll see in the pictures that I played around with garnishes but the twist is more traditional).
