Blood orange pulp and a dash of bitters update the classic Champagne-gin cocktail. Make the base for the drink one day ahead if you like.

Ingredients

Serves 12

3 blood oranges (about 1 pound)
1 1/2 cups gin
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon angostura bitters
2 750-ml bottles chilled Champagne

  1. Step 1

    Cut 1 orange in half through stem. Cut each orange half crosswise into 6 slices; reserve for garnish. Using small knife, cut peel and white pith from remaining 2 oranges; chop oranges. Transfer chopped oranges with juices to bowl; mash with potato masher or wooden spoon. Stir in gin, sugar, and bitters. Strain into 2-cup measuring cup, pressing on solids to release liquid. Chill 4 hours.

    Step 2

    Pour scant 2 tablespoons gin mixture into each of 12 glasses; fill with Champagne and garnish with orange.

  • Lovely cocktail for Valentine's Day! Everyone enjoyed it. Would be easy to halve this for a smaller crowd, too.

  • Very nice variation on a champagne drink. Flavour, colour and fizz go together well. Simple, effortless and easy to pre-prepare. I wouldn't use Dom Perignon for this. Cava works just fine.

  • Thought this was pretty good. It was a nice introduction to bitters which I now like to use in my mimosas.
