Have you seen blood oranges in the stores yet?  These beauties are in season… for a limited time only!  What in life is really for a limited time only these days? Apparently, blood oranges, which are perfect in this Blood Orange Campari Cocktail! Only available in the late winter/early spring, these guys are deceptively uh-mazing.

Sure, they look like regular ol’ oranges from the outside.  But once cut open, this jewel-toned fruit is more aromatic and fruitier than your typical orange.  Although my boys like to eat them, I tend to refrain from sharing.  Not only are they too good for kids that eat crumbs from their car seats, but as the name implies the blood-orange color has powerful staining power.

So, instead I put them into cocktails.  I mean, what better use is there for an exotic fruit than to add it to booze?

Those that know me know… I adore Campari.  I’ve always enjoyed it, but it became my go-to booze of choice after our recent trip to Italy.  This Italian, bitter-sweet alcohol is the perfect flavor and color to blend with fresh juice from the blood orange.  Add in a little vodka and seltzer and you’ve got a winner-winner cocktail hour.
