Marmalade Magic


Winter is ALMOST over..... or so we hope. Cross your frost bitten fingers. Although I must say this winter has been light years better then all the shit we endured in Minnesota last year.... #amiright?

Today we are going to bring some color into your winter world with this delicious cocktail "Marmalade Magic" which kinda sounds like a Beetles song if you ask me. We love this drink because it is colorful, tasty, and oh so fun to make!


MARMALADE MAGIC 

2 parts white whiskey
One fresh squeezed blood orange
Two drops aromatic bitters
One shot simple syrup 
2-3 tablespoons tonic water (depending on taste)
4 large square ice cubes
Fresh mint for garnish 
Makes two drinks



Start by cutting one full slice from the blood orange, set aside. Then juice the whole blood orange, it should come out to be about two shots or more depending on the size of the orange, after the orange is completely juiced add it to your cocktail shaker. Next add your simple syrup to the shaker, then the whiskey. After that add two large square ice cubes to the shaker. Then cover and shake, shake, shake for about forty five seconds, add one ice cube to each glass, then pour cocktail over the ice. Then slice the one slice of blood orange left over in half and place one half on each glass, add some mint and then drink!




Why not go for some local booze? Boost that local economy! MN represent! 



YUMMMM!!! That should help warm you up!

Love, Bethany & Whitney
