Blood Orange is just too stunning for words if you ask me. The color is everything and the flavor does not disappoint either. I find blood orange to be a little less sweet than the original- as it gets a little bitter when the flesh is exposed to air (which is obviously inevitable). But I love the little bite it brings to the sweet and slightly tart flavor. These recipes (mostly drink in nature!) celebrate the color and flavor of this gorgeous fruit.
