Oh how I miss these...

Blood Orange Martini


When blood oranges are in season, I buy a full reusable grocery bag full (12 lbs or so)
a truly perfect beverage for a hot summer day

to make:
get whatever device you have to extract juice
I have a primitive juicer, hoping someday to get the jamba juice style hand-press juicer
prepare to put in some elbow grease squeezing out the beautiful purple, red, and orange juices

in a shaker over ice add:
2 shots vodka (preferably blood-orange infused, obviously)
1 shot triple sec
2 shots fresh-squeezed blood orange juice
shake vigorously and strain into chilled martini glass
garnish with fresh blood orange slices and fresh-frozen raspberries
(fresh frozen means buy them fresh and freeze them, possibly vodka soaked if you want a kick with your post-martini chewables)
