Blood oranges are in season now, and while they may not look like anything special at the grocery store, cut them open and you'll see one of the reasons why winter is my favorite season. (Another reason is skiing. But that's a different story.)
Blood oranges are completely gorgeous, and make a delicious and attractive addition to salads or smoothies. But my favorite use for them is in a blood orange martini.
Blood Orange Martini
3 ounces fresh blood orange juice
2 ounces citron vodka (I used Absolut Citron)
1/2 ounce of triple sec
splash of lime juice
ice
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a slice of blood orange. (Makes one)
What's your favorite recipe using blood oranges?

mmm...as a person who shares your love of food, ill be checking back! and i have friends coming over friday. im going to try this blood orange martini. :) thanks.
Those blood oranges look hearty. I went up to the Marin County farmers market last weekend and there wasn't any good citrus yet. I'll keep looking for a satisfactory fruit before I try this one out.
ooooh those look delicious. those green glasses are also so pretty!
