Hey Guys and Gals! A deep red vodka from blood oranges.
Ingredients
Step 1
3 blood oranges
3 cups vodka
Step 2 (optional)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
Directions
1. Wash the oranges. Zest them, leaving the white pith behind. Pith makes it bitter.
2. Cut away the pith and slice the fruit. Add the zest and fruit to a jar and cover with the vodka.
3. Steep one week in a cool, dark place, shaking daily.
4. Strain through moistened cheesecloth, gently wringing it. Strain again through a coffee strainer if needed.
5. Optional: boil the water, stir in the sugar until dissolved, let cool and add to taste.
