Tips:
- Use fresh blood oranges: Blood oranges provide a vibrant color and unique flavor to the cocktail. Freshly squeezed blood orange juice is ideal, but you can also use store-bought juice if necessary.
- Chill your Campari: Chilling the Campari before using helps to enhance its flavor and create a more refreshing cocktail.
- Use quality gin: A good quality gin will provide a smooth, balanced flavor to the cocktail. Look for gins with citrus or juniper notes to complement the blood orange and Campari.
- Garnish with blood orange zest: A twist of blood orange zest adds a beautiful garnish and enhances the citrusy flavors of the cocktail.
- Serve immediately: This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The ice will gradually melt, diluting the flavors of the cocktail.
