Blood Orange Whiskey Sour

This blood orange whiskey sour is a delightful cocktail!

It's sour and sweet and the best combination of flavors. It doesn't hurt that it's really pretty as well.

This is a super easy cocktail to put together (just squeeze some citrus and shake it with a sweetener and whiskey!)., and it has lovely flavorful notes that are both sweet and sour.

The blood orange brings a balanced citrus flavor that enhances the lemon, which can sometimes be a little mouth-puckering on its own.

This cocktail is a beautiful deep orange-red color, perfect for cocktails and canapés night or a holiday brunch.

Ingredients for this Cocktail

• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed blood orange juice
• 1.5 ounces simple syrup
• 3 ounces whiskey or bourbon
