Happy #ThirstyThursday!! It has been a while since I was in the #ThirstyThursday kick, but it’s baaaaack!

And just in time for Blood Orange Season. My last luscious drink was this concoction, and I couldn’t leave the blood orange love alone.

Blood Orange Rosemary Screwdriver

I actually made this drink up with my mother-in-law in mind. She doesn’t drink often, but when she does she will order a screwdriver. I am always surprised, not at her order- but at myself for never thinking to order a screwdriver! It is such an awesome combination of cold crisp vodka and sweet and tart refreshing orange juice- it’s just kind of a perfect cocktail.

Blood Orange Rosemary Screwdriver

So I had to just amp things up a bit by subbing in blood orange juice (because it is just TOO pretty!) and then I added a touch of rosemary, which adds just a bit more dimension and flavor- a lovely touch. Enjoy!
