Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need for a single drink:

2 blood oranges juiced

1 tablespoon simple syrup adjust for sweetness
Ice cubes
Thin blood orange slices and fresh mint leaves for garnish
The blood oranges deliver that unique flavor. Their beautiful color also makes the drink look special.

Feel free to adjust the simple syrup to match your taste—you might prefer it a bit less sweet.

Instructions

Follow these steps to mix up your mocktail:

Juice the blood oranges. Use your citrus juicer to extract the juice and discard pulp.

Add the blood orange juice and simple syrup to your shaker with ice.
Shake it up! Mix until everything is well combined and nicely chilled.
Strain the mixture into your glass over fresh ice.

Top with soda water and gently stir with your spoon.
Garnish with slices of blood orange and mint.

Remember to taste and adjust sweetness or add a splash of soda to suit how bubbly you want it. This is the fun part!

Notes

This mocktail is adaptable. 🍹

If you want more fizz, add extra soda water. For a tangier flavor, you could swap lime juice for added zing.

In warmer months, try freezing some blood orange slices to use as ice cubes. This keeps the drink cold without watering it down.
