Vodka and blood orange, shaken until deep red-orange. Sweet citrus with a berry-like edge, at its best in late winter when the oranges are in season. Vodka 51 Connoisseur Reserve keeps it rich, silky and balanced.

How to make it

Chill a martini glass.

Shake all ingredients hard with ice for about 12 seconds.

Double strain into the chilled glass and rest a thin blood orange wheel on the rim.

From the Master Blender

Squeeze the juice just before you shake. Fresh blood orange is vivid and lively, and it fades quickly.
