The first time I ever tried a blood orange was when I was studying abroad in Switzerland. A slice of blood orange was served instead of a lime after a tequila shot. From that point on I was hooked to both tequila and blood oranges.
I have since found other delicious blood orange products. Trader Joe’s has a really good Blood Orange Italian Soda. Tonight I tried blood orange sorbet made by Ciao Bella Gelato. I found it at Harris Teeter, I’m sure you can find it in your local grocery store as well. It was good but tart, so be prepared.
Unfortunately, it is very rare that you actually see blood oranges. Now I’m just forced to drink the tequila alone.
