Notes
Pro Tips
- Use freshly squeezed lemon and blood orange juice for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Shake the cocktail thoroughly to create a slightly frothy texture.
- For extra depth, infuse the bourbon with orange peel before mixing.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, try adding a dash of egg white for a silky mouthfeel.
- Adjust sweetness by adding or omitting the simple syrup—taste before adding to ensure balance.
