I’m back with more blood orange goodness to share! As I’ve professed before, they’re one of my favorite fruits and you just can’t beat them when it comes to cocktails. This week I thought I’d let them shine in this martini and whewwweee, it’s both delicious and strong. You may notice they’re not in the typical martini glass and that’s intentional… Martini glasses are one of my least favorite objects.
Alright friends, it’s the weekend again! I’ll be making the final touches on issue 4 of Remedy Quarterly, playing with Maude and staying warm. Cheers!

Martini glasses are intended never to move. Try walking more than 5 steps with one and the contents get to moving and inevitably the lovely drink is dripping down your arm and on to the floor from your elbow. Not fun.
