Blood Orange–Bourbon Coolers
Blood oranges differ from their thick-skinned cousins, navel oranges, because they are less acidic in taste and have a richer, berry-like flavor. When pressed, blood oranges yield a tangy-sweet juice that pairs well with bourbon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blood orange juice (about 4 oranges)
- ½ to 1 cup bourbon (4 to 8 ounces)
- 2 cups refrigerated lemonade (16 ounces)
- 2 Tablespoons refrigerated pomegranate juice
- Angostura bitters (optional)
- Blood orange slices for garnish
Instructions
- Combine the first 4 ingredients in an ice-filled pitcher. Pour into ice-filled rocks glasses. Top off each with a dash of bitters, if desired. Garnish, if desired.
