- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 dashes Angostura orange bitters aromatic bitters can also be used
- 2 teaspoons blood orange juice strained
- 2 ounces whiskey
- garnish with blood orange peel
In an old fashioned glass, add the sugar and saturate with the bitters.
Add in the blood orange juice and muddle.
Mix until the sugar is dissolved, this will take about 3 minutes of muddling.
Fill with ice and add in whiskey. Stir gently.
Garnish with blood orange peel.
- Make sure to completely dissolve the sugar. If you don't, the sugar will remain at the bottom of the glass and your drink will be very strong.
- Use 2 teaspoons of simple syrup instead of granulated sugar or a sugar cube to reduce stirring time.
- The bigger the ice cubes, the better. The larger ice cube will melt slower causing less dilution to the drink.
- When buying blood oranges make sure the skin is free of blemishes and that they smell ripe.
