Blood Orange Martini

This Blood Orange Martini is made with a few unexpected liqueurs and it’s FANTASTIC!

Blood Orange Martini with pear vodka, ginger liqueur and limoncelloUntil today, I’ve never had a blood orange in my life.  But apparently they’re all the rage on food blogs this winter.  I’m happy to say I finally found a couple at my local market so I grabbed a few to see what the hype is all about.  I don’t know if it was just my oranges or not, but they tasted a bit more tart than regular oranges.  But look how beautiful they are inside!

Beautiful Blood OrangesFirst I thought I’d like to make my favorite Pomegranate Martini with blood orange juice instead of pomegranate juice, but then I came across an interesting sounding recipe on the internet that had pear vodka, limoncello, ginger liqueur and blood orange juice.  BINGO!  I had all those ingredients so out came my cocktail shaker to give it a try.

A big thumbs up! I thoroughly enjoyed this version of a Blood Orange Martini.  I never would have thought to pair blood orange juice, ginger, lemon and pear but it works.  Lately, I’ve enjoyed “lightening” up my martinis that use several liqueurs with a splash of club soda.  I really like the touch of fizz that it adds and it also seems to cut the sweetness a bit. You could fill a rocks glass with ice and pour the drink over ice (like the original recipe) and top with club soda if you prefer.

Cheers!
