Blood Orange Cosmo Cocktail
The Blood Orange Cosmo cocktail elevates the original cosmopolitan with the rich, nuanced tones of the citrus fruit. While the original recipe calls for tart cranberry juice and lime, this version replaces the latter with a vivid blood orange syrup, which deepens the flavour profile and makes the drink sweeter, tangier and fragrant, providing sophisticated fruitiness. Its gorgeous crimson hue distinguishes it, making it a visually appealing and distinctly flavourful option for those looking for a creative take on a cherished classic.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Taste the juice before making the syrup since its natural sweetness and tartness may vary, necessitating minor adjustments to the amount of sugar.
Preparation Tip 2
Avoid using crushed ice in the shaker since it melts too rapidly, resulting in an over-diluted drink before it has fully chilled.
