Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

To add some fizz to your Valentine’s Day, stir up this cocktail for yourself, your friends and family, or your lover.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

* 2 blood oranges, plus 1 thin slice, for garnish

* Splash of fresh lemon juice

* Splash of bitters

* 1/2 cup chilled cava

Directions

Using a reamer, juice the blood oranges into a strainer placed over a bowl. With the back of the spoon work the pulp against the strainer to extract all of the juice, about 1/4 cup.

In a small pitcher combine the blood orange juice, lemon juice, bitters, and the chilled cava. Give it a little stir. Pour into a chilled champagne flute. Garnish with a thin slice of blood orange.
