Notes
If you cannot find blood oranges or prefer to, feel free to swap in a navel orange, red grapefruit, or a lemon for both the juice and the garnish. It will be different, but equally delightful. If you’re not a gin aficionado, please switch it out for bourbon. If you do replace the gin with bourbon, please consider substituting club soda for the tonic water.
