BLOOD ORANGE GIN AND TONIC

This cocktail only takes four ingredients still making it a very easy cocktail to create, but there are two things you absolutely must do to make it a success.

1. Make sure the blood orange liquor and gin and really cold. I recommend placing in the freezer for a bit.

2. Use good liquor. That’s usually the case 99% of the time, but just in case you thought about saving a few pennies, don’t. Quality liquor is key because it’s going to be what you taste the most. There aren’t any juices or other flavors to help mask cheap liquor.

If you’d like you can garnish your cocktail with an orange wheel or a slice of lime.
