Blood oranges are in season!! Every year when the time comes, I make sure to pick up some of these amazing looking oranges. This year being no exception, I got myself a bag, unsure of what I might do with them, but knowing they needed to find their way on the blog somehow (they are too awesome looking not to be featured!). Given that I had a bunch of mint leftover from the Radish Raita I made, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for mojitos! Not only would they taste great in this delicious cocktail, I knew it would be a great opportunity to show off how great these things look!

    What do you mean when you say to “muddle” the mint, lime and sugar? do you just mean shake it or is this some other technique? I can’t pretend to be any expert at making cocktails with a shaker so if you could let me know what you mean I’d be grateful. I’ll still have a crack at it anyway – would be pretty hard to get wrong I’d imagine 🙂

      Muddling is basically just mashing the ingredients. Just search “muddling a cocktail” on Youtube, and there should be plenty of how-to videos!
