BLOOD-ORANGE MADRAS (AND MOCKTAIL)
Kix Story: This drink is like a Tequila Sunrise minus the grenadine syrup. I prefer the Madras because it calls for cranberry juice, which I like because it's less sweet than grenadine. Both the blood orange and the cranberry juice are full of vitamin C, and the cranberry juice is also a good source of vitamins E and K. So I say take your vitamins! The blood orange may have originated in China or the Southern Mediterranean, where they have been growing since the eighteenth century. They are now the primary orange variety grown in Italy. They're famous for their crimson colored flesh. Ingredients: Ice One part tequila One part unsweetened cranberry juice One part blood orange juice Splash of soda water (optional) Orange slices Maraschino cherries Instructions: Fill a Collins or hurricane glass all the way full with ice. Pour the tequila over the ice. Then pour in the juices, one at a time. Top with a splash of soda water if you want to give it some fix. Garnish with an orange slice and maraschino cherries. For a mocktail, just leave out the tequila. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
