What drinks can I make with Skyy Blood Orange?

Cocktail Colin says:
If you're looking for a cocktail that features the vibrant and tangy goodness of blood orange, the "Blood and Sand" cocktail might be right up your alley. This classic drink has a rich history dating back to the 1920s and offers a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and slightly bitter flavors. Made with blood orange juice, red vermouth, cherry liqueur, and whiskey, it provides a complex and satisfying flavor profile, with blood orange juice adding a unique and tangy note that stands out beautifully.
Another option to consider is the "Blood Orange Margarita," which offers a modern and refreshing twist on the traditional margarita. This cocktail combines tequila, orange liqueur, and blood orange juice to create a lively and flavorful drink. The inclusion of lime juice and sugar syrup adds a nice balance of tartness and sweetness, and a pinch of salt on the rim provides an extra layer of complexity. Served with a lime wedge, it's not only delicious but visually appealing as well.
Both these cocktails leverage the distinct taste and vibrant color of blood orange, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to enjoy this unique fruit in a stylish beverage.
