  • HOME COOK RECIPE: A viewer or guest of the show, who may not be a professional cook, provided this recipe. The Food Network Kitchen have not tested this recipe and therefore cannot make representation as to the results.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blood oranges: Fresh blood oranges provide the most vibrant color and flavor to your cocktail. Look for oranges that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color.
  • Chill your ingredients: Chilling your ingredients before making the cocktail will help it stay cold and refreshing. You can chill your blood orange juice, vodka, Cointreau, and cranberry juice in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a good quality vodka: The vodka you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your cocktail. Choose a vodka that is smooth and has a clean taste. Avoid using cheap vodkas, as they can leave a harsh aftertaste.
  • Don't overshake the cocktail: Over-shaking the cocktail will dilute it and make it watery. Shake the cocktail just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish with a blood orange twist: A blood orange twist adds a beautiful finishing touch to the cocktail. To make a blood orange twist, simply cut a thin strip of peel from a blood orange and twist it around a cocktail pick.

Conclusion:

The Blood Orange Cosmo is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a delicious cocktail to enjoy at home, the Blood Orange Cosmo is sure to please.
