Arancia Italiano is a smooth Amaretto cocktail that is dressed up for fine dining but easy enough to make for any occasion.

I’ve been so lucky that my adult children have made it home for Christmas every year since they flew the coup.

I don’t know how it got started but each year we try a new beverage that one of us has enjoyed since seeing each other.

This year it’s going to be the Arancia Italiano!

We love to do baking challenges as a way to learn new skills and to try recipes that I might not ordinarily try.

So when I heard that “Stirrings, Simply Better Cocktails” was having a “Stir It Up Holiday Mixology Challenge”, we just had to enter.

We had the opportunity to pick from Stirrings Cocktail Mixers which was no easy feat!

Some of the choices included Margarita, Mojito, Pomegranate Martini, and Peach Bellini. I chose the Blood Orange Martini.

We also wanted to choose a Rimmer Cocktail Garnish that would give my drink an ooh la la factor.

They had a Bloody Mary, Cosmopolitan, Margarita and my choice, Lemon Drop. We felt we were off to a great start.

My partner-in-crime husband was all in for a little research and development, and it didn’t take us long to come up with the Arancia Italiano.

The name was all of John’s doing. He’s my resident Italian and the alcohol used in this recipe are Italian inspired.

This drink is anything but ordinary. We both loved how easy it was to sip.

John’s already planning on making them by the pitcher for our next entertaining opportunity.

  1. I love all things blood orange and if you include amaretto it’s even better. Haven’t tried the bitters yet but 2017 is the yer of new flavors! Happy New Year Julie!!

    1. Thank you Jennifer! I’m pretty new to the bitters but am loving them. I actually had a chocolate one last weekend that they rolled in the glass and then lit it on fire! Very impressive. I don’t think I’ll do that one. I’d probably burn down the house.

  2. Cheers! And happy new year! This cocktail is lovely! I really love that sugar rimmer too! I’ll be on the lookout for this!

  3. I enjoy your “family” cocktails Julie – was this from your son? I have not been blogging much as I have been out of town for the past 2-1/2 weeks caring for a younger sister who had serious surgery. I need to catch up and look at all of your delicious recipes.

    1. John and I actually tweaked this one. Michael just got home this morning 3:45 a.m. after mechanical plane problems. How is your sister doing Judi? I sure hope she can look forward to a positive outcome. This time of year always has it’s share of illness and accidents. I hope you have a wonderful holiday and I look forward to reading about your cooking activities.
