Blood Orange Bourbon Cocktail
This blood orange bourbon cocktail is similar to a whiskey sour. The combination of citrus juices and ginger syrup creates a fresh and vibrant sour mix that's better than any of those pre-made, bottled stuff you find at the liquor store.
Servings: 1 (multiply as needed)
Ingredients
- 4 fresh raspberries
- 1 ½ Tablespoons lime juice
- 1 ½ Tablespoons blood orange juice
- 1 ½ Tablespoons ginger syrup (recipe follows)
- 4 Tablespoons bourbon
- 2 Tablespoons sparkling water (club soda)
Ginger Syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 inches ginger, peeled, sliced into disks
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle together raspberries, lime juice, orange juice and ginger syrup. Add bourbon. Stir to combine. Strain into a glass with ice. Top with sparking water. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a blood orange slice.
- Ginger Syrup: Combine water, sugar, and ginger in a small sauce pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Strain out ginger and store ginger syrup in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.
Notes
Ginger syrup will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
