I love blood oranges, and eagerly await their appearance in my local stores every November. This year, my local Safeway didn't get them until this week (don't worry, I had other sources). While I was there today picking up some last minute ingredients for the Osso Buco I made for dinner tonight, I picked up a couple pounds.

I really wanted to make a cocktail with the blood oranges, but I couldn't decide what I was in the mood for. Eventually, I settled on a variation of the caipirinha. Since I didn't have cachaça on hand, I decided to use rum instead:

  • Juice of one blood orange
  • 2 oz Bacardi Gold Rum
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1 oz simple syrup

Combine ingredients in a shaker and shake over ice. Strain into a chilled martini glass.
