Blood Orange Ramos Fizz

Why It's Good:

Cool, refreshing, and chock full of vitamin C, this drink is an offshoot of the classic Ramos Gin Fizz.

Why It's Green:

Use organic gin for pure and zestful flavor that's chemical-free. And if you can get organic or local cream and blood orange slices, all the better.

½ oz cream

Slice of Blood Orange

Put all ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat. Strain into martini glass.—Recipe by Michael Green
