Equipment
- Cocktail shaker

- Measuring jigger
Ingredients
- 8 ounces vodka
- 4 ounces fresh blood orange juice
- 2 ounces triple sec
- 1 ounce grenadine
- Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons red sanding sugar
- 4 blood orange slices
Instructions
- Wet the rims of four martini glasses and dip them into the red sanding sugar to coat evenly.
- Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.
- Pour the vodka, blood orange juice, triple sec, and grenadine into the shaker.
- Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
- Strain the liquid evenly into the four prepared glasses.
- Add one blood orange slice to the rim of each glass as garnish.
Notes
Fresh blood orange juice can range from sweet to tart depending on the fruit, so taste the mixture before straining and add a splash more grenadine if you prefer extra sweetness. Chill the glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes ahead of time to help the drink stay cold longer.
