Ingredients
  

Group 1
  • 8 oz blood orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 oz lime sparkling water
  • blood orange slices for garnish

Equipment

  • Citrus juicer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Pitcher or large glass
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Basil leaves
  • Ice cube tray

Method
 

  1. Juice the blood oranges to get about 8 oz of juice.
  2. In a pitcher, combine the blood orange juice, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
  3. Add ice cubes to the pitcher.
  4. Pour in the lime sparkling water and stir gently to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Garnish with blood orange slices.

Notes

For a more complex flavor, add a splash of ginger beer. Don't over-sweeten the drink; the tartness of the blood oranges is what makes it special.
