Yield: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 2 blood orange slices, halved
  • 2-3 dashes of of Angostura bitters
  • 4 ounces freshly squeezed blood orange juice (about 3 small blood oranges)
  • 2 ounces bourbon
  • 2 ounces club soda
  • extra blood orange slices for garnish
Instructions
  1. Add the honey to the warm water and stir until dissolved; set aside (essentially you have just created a honey simple syrup - viola!).
  2. In a chilled glass, muddle a couple of blood orange slices, along with your honey simple syrup and a few dashes of Angostura bitters. Add remaining ingredients and some ice. Stir to mix and garnish with another blood orange slice, if desired.
  3. Alternatively, if you don't like/want pulp in your cocktail, simply add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 5-10 seconds.
  4. Kick back, relax and enjoy!
