‘Tis the season to be jolly and when your company arrrives, what better way to welcome them with this special ‘signature drink’.
Each year, I tried to have a different special welcome to our home drink. This is easy, super tasty and such a pretty colour as well.
- 1 cup blood orange juice
- 1 cup Grand Marnier
- 1 750 ml bottle of sparkling wine
Stir the juice and liqueur together in a pitcher, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator until well chilled.
Divide among some chilled martini glasses. Toast the New Year and the conversation will start.
In case I didn’t mention it…….yummy!
Blood Orange Martini
Before I go to work for my other half, I thought I would tickle your fancy with yet another martini
- 1 1/2 oz. gin
- 1/2 oz. Campari (adds colour and punch)
- dash of vermouth
- 1 1/2 oz. blood orange juice
Fill shaker with ice, add ingredients and shake well. Strain into chilled glasses and garnish with a blood orange twist.
Well, did I do it?
