Rich and refreshing, the Blood Orange Sidecar brings a burst of citrus to any evening. The tangy blood orange juice perfectly balances the warmth of cognac and the sweetness of Grand Marnier. A dash of orange bitters adds depth, while a hint of simple syrup rounds it off. This cocktail is a favorite for its bold flavor and vibrant color. Highly recommend giving this recipe a try for a perfect drink to unwind.
