I actually made this cocktail. I bought effen blood orange vodka on a whim and just happened to have amaretto and orange bitters. It was fabulous. I love amaretto and sours (my usual go to). This was amazing! Everyone at our picnic loved it too! Thank you for this post!

In reply to Loretta. Thank you, Loretta! I think people of our parents' era like an occasional mixed drink and they're making a comeback. I just had a blood orange for lunch minus the booze LOL. They are almost like a grapefruit and an orange combined since they aren't as sweet. The first time I cut one open boy was I surprised. I think they're so striking though. They could have named them a garnet orange. That would have sounded a little more appetizing. This one would definitely warm your bones and it goes down pretty darned easy too.

Goodness Julie, how did I miss this incredible post! It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, and I want to and need to grab this glass from the screen and down it all in one go. Sure it would warm my insides, as it’s a gloomy, light snowy type of day over here. Loved reading your stories and learning that your Dad owned the local tavern. Bet he came up with some great mixers. The blood oranges surely stand in the spotlight! I had no idea there was a Blood Orange Vodka and I’ll bet with the Amaretto this was a winner! Cheers my friend!! ~clink~

These were great for our happy hour at Home last night! My husband LOVED THE blood orange flavor and I know we’ll be making them again!

In reply to Judith Graber. Effen is really a nice product! I found those little glasses in an antique shop. They're perfect for little sippers like this. I'll have to pick up some of the cucumber! Enjoy your day Judi!

In reply to Becca Holton. Thank you, Becca! I've always been intrigued with mixing drinks too! At one time I thought about bartender school but the hours weren't feasible at the time. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your day!

Julie, this cocktail looks so tasty. It sounds tasty as well since you mentioned how it’s a twist on the traditional Godmother cocktail. Learning to mix drinks is something I’ve always wanted to try. That’s why I’m considering getting a liquor license.
