Rae’s Blood Orange Mixer with Raspberry Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients

• 1 quart lemonade, ideally fresh (Rae used Whole Foods 365 Lemonade plus the juice and pulp of 2 fresh lemons)
• 2 large or 4 mini blood oranges, plus 1 more for garnish
• A small handful of cilantro (or mint, if you don’t like cilantro)
• 5 Tbsp Sue’s Raspberry Balsamic Glaze
• A pinch of salt
• Sweetener of choice, such as honey, simple syrup, or agave (Rae used 4 Tbsp local honey)

Directions

1. Peel the blood oranges and remove all the tough pith. Roughly chop them and put them in a food processor or blender with the cilantro.
2. Blend until as smooth as possible.
3. Pour through a strainer into a separate container. Strain again as many times as you like for less pulp, or use a juicer for none.
4. Combine the strained blood orange juice, lemonade, glaze, sweetener, and salt.
5. Serve with gin or vodka, garnished with blood orange slices and cilantro.
