3⁄4 oz Blood orange (Moro blood orange)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with blood orange wheel (optional)

Notes

The specific calls worked very well (Johnnie Walker Black and Cocchi di Torino) and I keep getting requests to make more of these from family members who are not typically keen on scotch--hence, the inclusion of "More" in the name, as well as it being a nod to the Moro.

This is the first year my Moro blood orange has produced, despite a record hot summer. The fruit is almost blackish purple inside (the photo taken under warm lighting truly doesn't do it justice.) The flavor is more muted in orange with a broader red raspberry that blends seamlessly with Cherry Heering and the cacao/raisin of the Cocchi.

History

Variation on the historical Blood & Sand (ca. 1930 in Savoy) but using Moro blood orange.
