Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 ice cubes
  • 2 ounces whiskey
  • 1 ounce blood orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon simple syrup
  • 1 maraschino cherry
  • orange slice garnish

Instructions

  • Add ice to cocktail shaker. 
  • Pour the whiskey, blood orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup over the ice. Cover and shake vigorously about 20 seconds or until frost forms.
  • Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and decorate with a cherry and an orange slice.

Notes

Tip - cut a thin slice out of the center of the orange before juicing to use as a garnish. 
Tip - Make a larger batch of simple syrup by combining 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.  Stir until sugar is dissolved.  Store in a bottle in the refrigerator with a date on it, it should last for about a month.
