Bloody Bourbon Cocktail

Despite the unappetizing name, this blood orange-bourbon cocktail is quite tasty.  We adapted it from Sippity Sup.

Bloody Bourbon
2 oz. bourbon
2 oz. blood orange juice
Club soda
Mint spring

Gently stir bourbon and blood orange juice together. Strain into a lowball glass with ice and top with a little bit of club soda.  Garnish with a mint sprig.

If you prefer the texture of fresh-pressed juice, you can skip the strainer.  We appreciate that this drink doesn’t include any extra sugar, allowing the pure juice and bourbon flavors to shine.  The mint adds a nice freshness to the nose.
