One of my favorite cocktails is a Blood Orange Bourbon Smash cocktail. Although this drink may be simple, when prepared correctly its magical. It has subtle flavors of ginger and is loaded with fresh blood orange juice. This Blood Orange Bourbon smash will become your favorite winter cocktail. The piste de resistance is at the end when the glass is rimmed with Demerara sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Cup Fresh Blood Orange Juice.
  • 2 Tbsp Ginger Simple Syrup. (( I buy mine at Whole Foods when I can. When they don’t have it I make at home.))
  • 1 Shot Glass Whiskey Makers Bourbon.
  • A few Tbsp of sugar on a flat plate Demerara Sugar to rim the glass. (( I put the sugar on a flat plate. I then cut a lemon and coat the top of the glass. I go around a few times in a circular motion to coat the top of the glass.))
  • 2 Tbsp Italian Blood Orange Soda
  • Ice 6 Ice Cubes for Cocktail Shaker to mix and a shot glass.

Instructions

  1. Take the cocktail shaker and put the ice cubes in it. Let it chill for a couple minutes.
  2. Take 1 cup of the Blood Orange juice and put it into the cocktail shaker.
  3. Add 1 shot glass of Whiskey Maker’s Bourbon. Pour into the cocktail shaker.
  4. Add 2 Tbsp of Ginger Simple Syrup.
  5. Take a lemon and coat the top of the cocktail glass. Go around two to three times. Then dip the top of the glass into the sugar.
  6. I add 2 Tbsp of Italian Blood Orange Soda on the bottom of the cocktail glass for a deeper pink color.
  7. Then pour in the cocktail mixture into the glasses.

Notes

This will make enough for two coupe glass cocktails.
