Blood Orange Cocktail
Fresh blood orange with a subtle gin backbone, bittersweet herbal notes and vermouth complexity

Great. Another suggests a dash of orange bitters in place of the Disaronno. I will try that the next time.

Wow. We had a couple of blood oranges that we needed to eat. The cool search capability of this app (thanks Simon) turned up this cocktail. What a find. Backed off the gin a little to 1.25, Campari.5, vermouth.5 and OJ 1.25.

Highly enjoyable boozy aperitivo, a fun alternative to a negroni. As others have said the quality of the outcome is highly dependent on the quality of the oranges.

It was really good. Bit on the booze side. Enjoyed the Campari and blood orange juice

Loved how bitter this cocktail was. Beefeeter's juniper and Luxardo Bitter Rosso combined well and led seamlessly into a Dolin dry/ blood orange finish. I kept taking sips to see if these flavors were emerging sequentially and the next thing you know, my drink was gone. The quality of the oranges was among the best I have found locally and surely made a big difference. Big five.

Huh. A high-quality gin seems essential here. Gordon's did not cut it. Love gin and Campari but, like some of the other comments, I felt like this was missing just a tiny touch of sweetness. Also, the orange is merely on the perimeter; not a major factor in the overall taste. (2 Feb 2022, 4:08p)
(Blood Orange) when Blood Oranges aren't available and, its my fave summer cocktail, including all my friends that have tried it.
