Settling in for yet another rousing night of television and takeout while sporting your loungewear best?
Obviously it's beyond time you shook things up. And what better way to spice up your evening than by adding a sophisticated sip into the mix?
Ina Garten's Blood Orange Cosmos are just the answer! Seriously, this cocktail is as delicious as it is shockingly simple to make.
Cheers!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED
2 cups good vodka
1 1/2 cups blood orange juice
1 cup Cointreau
½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (4 limes)
6 generous peels from a fresh blood orange
Combine the vodka, blood orange juice, Cointreau, and lime juice in a large pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice, pour the cocktail mixture in, and shake for a full 30 seconds. Pour into chilled martini glasses, rub the rim of each glass with a blood orange peel and add as a garnish. Serve immediately.
