Blood Orange Whiskey Sour

Blood Orange Whiskey Sour

I frequently get my cocktail inspirations in the produce aisle of the grocery store. When I'm shopping for fresh, seasonal ingredients for my cooking, I find that drink ideas always appear in my head. Actually that kind of sounds like I have a problem, doesn't it? But it's actually just delicious.

Blood Orange Whiskey Sour
Right now the blood oranges are in season and I can't resist their stunning ruby colored flesh. There are a few different varieties of them and some are sweeter than others. I mostly find them a touch more bitter than traditional oranges which is why I added a bit of sugar syrup to the drink.

I can think of lots of cocktail ideas for these lovelies but I haven't had a whiskey sour in a while and was in the mood for one. It's a strong drink with sweet, sour and bitter notes but it's a great winter sipper and you gotta love the color. Cheers!

Per Serving:
1 1/2 oz. Whiskey
1 oz. Blood orange juice
1/2 oz. Lemon juice
1/2 oz. Simple syrup
Dash of Angostura bitters

Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake well. Pour into a cocktail glass and garnish with fresh blood orange, if desired.

      If you mean instead of the angostura bitters then yes, absolutely.

    Beautiful looking cocktail so much more refined than the well whiskey and gun sour mix whiskey sours I used to drink so many years ago. Thanks for the lovely reminder that I should try one again and what better time than now when there is so much citrus to choose from!
