Blood Orange Spritzer


There's no shortage of great citrus this season, and I've been enjoying it in different forms, but especially cocktails. In March I made a martini, but this month I wanted something a little more refreshing.



Blood Orange Spritzer
serves 1

Ingredients
1 ounce  vodka
1/2 ounce St-Germain
juice from 1-2 blood oranges 
soda water (preferably from one of these)

Instructions
Juice oranges, straining the pulp from the juice if necessary. Set aside. Fill a small glass with ice. Add the vodka, St Germain and orange juice, then top with soda water. Garnish with an orange slice.
