3 Ingredient Happy Hour: My Bloody Valentine
Happy weekend everyone, and welcome back to Happy 3 Ingredient Hour , a weekly drinks column featuring very simple yet delicious libations. Valentine’s Day is coming soon, but instead of making a sparkling rose-scented cocktail, I decided to use the sinister blood orange to make the holiday less enjoyable.
If this alcoholic citrus can sounds familiar to you, it’s because you follow Eating Trash With Claire and you know it contains vermouth with bloody orange added. You could honestly have a drink straight out of a can and be completely happy – I did and I did – but I think Valentine’s Day requires something more powerful. To prepare this juicy, slightly sweet, but strong drink you will need:
- Vermouth
- Bloody orange
- 2 ounces gin
Cut a red orange into slices, toss into a jar and pour over with vermouth. From there, you can either let it brew for a few days at room temperature (it will turn pink when it’s ready to eat), or use the sous-vide setting and let it hang in a 185-degree bath for an hour before chilling. him for the night. in fridge. After you’ve prepared the infusion, add two ounces of bloody vermouth to the stirring glass along with two ounces of your favorite gin. Add ice, stir to cool, and strain into a compartment glass. Garnish with one of these drunk citrus slices and drink to love or to drink, depending on how you feel.
