Las Vegas — Blood Orange Screwdiver In Paris

In Vegas, you must take the good with the bad.  If you find something good, why not take it home with you?  This blood orange screwdriver was good enough to inspire an attempt to recreate it.

On days where we’re looking for a sweeter touch, we’ll use tangerine juice in the place of the blood orange juice and we’ll omit the lemon juice.

Blood Orange Screwdriver
makes 2

4 ounces Grey Goose L’orange vodka
8 ounces blood orange juice
juice of half a lemon
splash of blood orange bitters
ice, to fill

In a mixing glass, combine vodka, orange juice, lemon juice and bitters.  Stir.  Equally divide and pour into two rocks glasses.  Add ice to fill.

(Garnish with a sliver of blood orange, if it pleases you.)

Cheers!

This was a lovely balance of bitter and sweet.
