The Blitzo is a unique and refreshing cocktail that combines the sweetness of orange juice and lemonade with the bold flavor of aniseed liqueur and a hint of blackcurrant cordial. Aniseed liqueur, also known as absinthe, is a strong and aromatic spirit made from anise and other herbs.
Its distinct licorice flavor adds depth to the cocktail and balances out the sweet and tangy notes from the orange juice and lemonade. The addition of a dash of blackcurrant cordial gives the Blitzo a vibrant purple color and a touch of fruity sweetness.
This cocktail is perfect for those looking for a complex and flavorful drink, with a balanced mix of sweet, tangy, and herbal flavors. It is best enjoyed on a hot summer day or as a refreshing aperitif before a meal.

FAQ's
Can I substitute aniseed liqueur with another ingredient in the Blitzo cocktail?
Yes, if aniseed liqueur isn't to your taste or unavailable, you can substitute it with sambuca or absinthe for a similar anise-flavored profile. Keep in mind, absinthe is stronger, so you might want to use it sparingly.
What garnish works best with the Blitzo cocktail?
A slice of orange or a lemon twist pairs beautifully with the Blitzo cocktail. The citrus elements complement the orange juice and add a fresh look and aroma to the drink.
What is the best way to serve the Blitzo cocktail?
The Blitzo cocktail is best served in a chilled cocktail glass. You can further enhance its presentation by garnishing it with a slice of orange or a lemon twist on the rim of the glass.
How does the alcohol content in a Blitzo compare to that of a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 10.21%, the Blitzo cocktail is slightly lower in alcohol than many standard cocktails, which often range between 15%-30% ABV. It's a milder option for those who prefer a less potent drink.
Is there a non-alcoholic version of the Blitzo cocktail, and how can I make it?
Absolutely! For a non-alcoholic version of the Blitzo, you can substitute aniseed liqueur with non-alcoholic aniseed syrup or a similar flavoring. Keep the rest of the ingredients the same, and you'll have a refreshing mocktail version.
