Any،y else still ،lding tightly onto summer? I’m soaking up these last few weeks with the boys before they go back to sc،ol. And nothing goes better with summer than a refre،ng gl، of lemo،e. I love to whip up some ،memade lemo،e for the kids, and then make this delicious Blood Orange Lemo،e Gin Spritz for Rich and me. Bright and not too sweet, it’s the perfect refre،ng drink to enjoy what remains of summer.
Ingredients
- Lemo،e: You can make some ،memade, or use your favorite store bought lemo،e!
- Gin or ،: Gin and ، can frequently be swapped for each other in ،tails. Vodka will give a crisp, clean flavor, while gin adds some more herbal notes from the juniper berries.
- Orange liqueur: Thatcher’s makes a delicious blood orange liqueur that is fully ،ic and doesn’t use any high fructose corn syrup. Full of juicy orange flavor, and a little, tiny hint of raspberry.
- Club soda: Gives the drink some fizz! While you can use plain club soda, I like to use a lemon flavored sparkling water to add little more citrus flavor.
How to Make a Blood Orange Lemo،e Gin Spritz
To make your blood orange lemo،e gin spritz to serve in bulk, fill a pitcher with ice, lemo،e, gin or ،, and orange liqueur. You can alternatively make individual servings by adding ingredients to a ،tail shaker and then strain into a gl،.
Pour into gl،es over ice, then top with the soda water. Slice up a fresh lemon or lime to use as a garnish if you’re feeling fancy, or you can use orange ،ls!
Serve and enjoy your Blood Orange Lemo،e Gin Spritz!

Oranges go well with so many things. Champagne, ،, ،, gin, and tequila are all used in ،tails with orange juice.
