#52 Cocktail: Blood Orange

  I can tell you from the start that this cocktail will not contain a single drop of blood orange juice. So I guess the name came from the color and from the fact that the garnish is a wheel of blood orange.
   The drink was made from a recipe devised by John Simmons of Petaluna, New York, in 1995. Simmons created this drink shortly after Stolichnaya released it's orange flavored vodka, and although the recipe here is designed for a cocktail glass, he also serves this in a rocks glass or in a highball glass.
    I decided to present this in a cocktail glass, maybe because this week--end I acquired a new antique cocktail glass

2 ounces Stolichnaya Ohranj
1 ounce Campari
