Blood orange pulp and a dash of bitters update the classic Champagne-gin cocktail. Make the base for the drink one day ahead if you like. Ingredients:
3 blood oranges (about 1 pound) |
1 1/2 cups gin |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon angostura bitters |
2 750-ml bottles chilled champagne |
Directions:
1. Cut 1 orange in half through stem. Cut each orange half crosswise into 6 slices; reserve for garnish. Using small knife, cut peel and white pith from remaining 2 oranges; chop oranges. Transfer chopped oranges with juices to bowl; mash with potato masher or wooden spoon. Stir in gin, sugar, and bitters. Strain into 2-cup measuring cup, pressing on solids to release liquid. Chill 4 hours.
2. Pour scant 2 tablespoons gin mixture into each of 12 glasses; fill with Champagne and garnish with orange.
