Blood Orange Ginger Cosmo

While I went a little blood orange crazy last year (1, 2, 3), I’ve vowed to tone it down a bit… but that doesn’t mean I can go cold turkey!  I’m not usually a Cosmo girl (sorry SATC fans!) – but with a little blood orange and ginger, how could I say no!?

Blood Orange Ginger Cosmo

1. Placed freshly grated ginger in the bottom of a martini glass.
2. Shake vodka, Cointreau and blood orange juice in an ice filled shaker for 30 seconds or until icy.
