- Step 3: Serve with Garnish – Place a slice of blood orange on the rim of the glass and sprinkle fresh mint leaves on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
When selecting blood oranges, look for fruit that is firm and has a vibrant, deep red color.
To adjust sweetness, start with less simple syrup and taste before adding more.
Consider making a pitcher for parties by multiplying the ingredients.
