Blood Orange Spritzer
Meet the Blood Orange Spritzer Mocktail — proof that Dry January doesn’t have to be a total buzzkill. This zero-proof stunner is bold, zesty, and dramatic (in the best way), like if a citrus grove and a jazz trio eloped and opened a speakeasy.
Why we love it:
It’s crisp, refreshing, and has just enough flair to make you forget it’s alcohol-free. The kind of mocktail that puts its pinky up and makes no apologies for skipping the spirits.
Recipe:
Ice (as much as your emotionally stable self can handle)
½ oz fresh lemon juice
3 oz blood orange juice (bonus points for freshly squeezed)
2 oz ginger beer
Garnish: mint sprig & blood orange slice
How to make it:
Fill your glass with ice like it’s January and you’re trying to forget 2025 ever happened.
Add lemon juice, blood orange juice, and ginger beer.
Stir gently (mocktails have feelings too).
Garnish with a mint sprig and a dramatic blood orange slice.
Sip slowly and feel smug about your life choices.
