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.
