This cocktail screams spring! It’s so simple to make too. Observe – 

• Juice your blood oranges
• Make simple syrup on the stove by heating sugar and water together, a simple process that takes only a few minutes
• Mix simple syrup, blood orange juice, bourbon, and ice in a drink shaker or chill in a pitcher without ice. 
• Pour into glasses and top with club soda! 

It’s as easy as that. 

To make this a mocktail, simply omit the bourbon and add more club soda (or even ginger ale!) to taste. Thankfully, sitting on your patio/balcony/front steps with a drink in hand hasn’t been cancelled. Cheers to better days ahead! 

I clearly cannot get enough of blood oranges this year! Here are all the recipes I’ve used them in, in case you are also obsessed!
