Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Made with blood orange juice, bourbon, club soda, and simple syrup, this cocktail is a breeze to whip up and the blood orange juice gives it stunning color! Make cocktails for two, or mix up a whole pitcher, or make it into a mocktail!

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!

    Where does the club soda come in? It’s not in the direction for cocktails. Is it only for the mocktail? Or pitcher?

      Hi Becky! I just updated the recipe to make that clearer. The club soda is a topper – so just add a splash or two to top off your cocktail. That’s included in the directions now. 🙂 Happy sipping!
