A blood orange gin & tonic is just the splash of bright colour and flavour we need right now
Jun 25, 2020
So, we haven’t been able to go on holiday to the Med (yet) this summer, but never fear! Try this simple twist on your usual gin and tonic for a refreshing, vivid splash of Mediterranean sunshine in your glass this evening. Ideally you’d use freshly squeezed juice, but these fruits are usually only in season in the winter months, so shop-bought versions are almost as good - although we would recommend avoiding those with too much added sugar and letting those fresh, clean flavours shine through!
Blood Orange Gin & Tonic
30ml gin
50ml blood orange juice
Dash of orange bitters (optional)
100ml tonic (or to taste)
Slice of fresh blood orange, to garnish
Pack your gin glass with ice, then add all your ingredients, stir well, and garnish with a slice of fresh blood orange.
Alternatively, for a more sophisticated blood orange-based gin cocktail, try this beautiful take on the classic martini, which we created for our Gin of the Month back in October 2018.
Blood Orange Martini
50ml gin
25ml blood orange juice
15ml sweet (red) vermouth
5ml sugar syrup
Orange peel, to garnish
Combine all of your ingredients in a cocktail shaker and add ice. Shake for 20 seconds. Strain into a cut-glass wine glass and serve garnished with a twist of orange peel.
