1 cup fresh squeezed blood orange juice
2 shots of rum
2 tbsp. sugar
juice of 1 lime
1 cup of ice

Add mint, lime juice, and sugar to shaker.
Muddle the ingredients until the mint is well crushed.

This sounds yummy! We're suckers for anything with Blood Orange juice, which we developed a taste for many years ago in Europe.

It used to be near-impossible to find around our parts until a couple of years ago when our green grocer received an accidental delivery of a couple of cases of quart cartons. In fact it was so accidental there wasn't a lick of English on the packaging- all Italian! It made us feel like we were on vacation at breakfast every morning!

It sold really fast & now they regularly stock it!
