Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 blood orange
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • Club soda

Instructions

  1. Begin by thoroughly washing the blood oranges to remove any wax from the skin.
  2. Peel the oranges, ensuring to remove most of the pith, and place the peels in a large jar with the vodka. Cover and store in a cool, dark place for 48 hours.
  3. Juice the oranges and combine the juice with sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Heat the mixture over high heat, bringing it to a boil, and allow it to thicken slightly for about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. Strain the infused vodka to remove the peels and combine it with the cooled orange syrup. Pour the mixture into sterilized bottles.
  5. To serve, pour the blood orangecello over ice and top with a splash of club soda for a delightful spritz.
