Ingredients:
o 2 blood oranges
o 2 cups vodka or clear spirit
of your choice
Method:
1. Cut ends from oranges and
discard.
2. Slice oranges in half
longitudinally. Remove white
integuments then slice
latitudinally into half rounds
1/4-inch thick.
3. Layer slices in a tall jar. Fill
with vodka and let steep in a
cool, dark place for 3 to 4 days.
4. Taste it. It should taste like
vodka that is a trifle bitter and
has a background flavor of
oranges and it should be the
color of a young girl’s cheek
the first time she is kissed.
5. Strain through cheesecloth
or filter paper into an airtight
container.
6. Seal well and refrigerate.
