Helen RandellBlood Orange Martini
July 20th 2010 00:09
Last week the Farmer's Market offered up some wonderful blood oranges. Always keen to take on these special cirtus with their deep red flesh, I purchased a few and took them home, wondering what I would make.
I considered a repeat of the Blood Orange Chicken Risotto because it was just soooooo good, but after a particularly rough day with heavy winds and a neighbours nasty accident in the reserve next to our house, I realised I was after something with a bit of kick. Something to calm the nerves... for medicinal purposes of course.
You could certainly make these Blood Orange Martinis stronger if you wish, but I like this mix where you can taste the flavour of the gin and feel it doing you good, rather than kicking you in the throat.
Blood Orange Martini - serves 1
dash of dry vermouth
30ml gin
juice of 1/2 - 1 blood orange depending on size
In a chilled glass splash in the vermouth and swirl glass to coat all sides. Add gin and then juice, stirring to combine. Sit back, relax and enjoy.
