Whiskey Wednesday: Kickin' Blood Orange Spritzer

Happy Wednesday guys!!!

Over a year ago, I started a fun new blog series -

As you can see, I've made quite a few whiskey drinks so far.
Whenever I run across a recipe that sounds appealing,
I make a note to make it soon and include it in this monthly blog series.

While I originally set out to make a variation of this recipe,

I wasn't able to track down blood oranges or even blood orange juice,

so I did the next best thing and created a brand new drink!

The Goods:

Whiskey

Orange Juice

Blood Orange San Pellegrino

Jalapeno

Get all your ingredients prepped and measured out.

Add ice, whiskey, orange juice and sliced jalapenos 

to a cocktail shaker and shake for about 30 seconds. 

Strain mixture into two small glasses.

The liquid should fill about half of each glass.

Finally, top with chilled Blood Orange San Pellegrino.

Cheers your friend, take a sip and enjoy!

Warning - there's quite a kick to these from the jalapenos!!!
