Nice. Refreshing. Didn't have Dubonnet so used a nice Poppy Aperol from No CA. Not too potent, not too weak. Nice change from my usual Manhattans. Wil definitely make again.
This wasn’t terrible, but didn’t shine. I think blood orange drinks are tricky because the fruits have varying levels of sweetness. In past years, the blood oranges I’ve purchased have been pretty bitter. Just got my first harvest from a small tree in my yard and the fruit is very sweet. I imagine this is better with a blood orange on the more bitter end of the spectrum
The addition of 1/2 teaspoon sugar improved the taste and texture, in my opinion.
I made this tonight without the rye. We enjoyed the slight bitterness. It had a light “European” flavor.
I just made this cocktail last night for my Valentine. He said he liked it but to me, there was nothing compelling about the flavor mix in this drink. I might make it again (because I now have a bottle of Dubonnet Rouge that I don't have any other use for) and try adding some bitters to make the taste more interesting. The problem also could have been the tasteless blood oranges I used.
