Pour all the ingredients into a mixing glass filled with ice and stir for 20-30 seconds (dependent on the quality of your ice), condensation on the outside of the mixing glass is a good indication your drink is sufficiently chilled and diluted. Pour over a large cube of ice in a double old fashioned glass, garnish with half a slice of Blood orange and lastly take a peel of blood orange, express the oils and discard the peel.

Notes

Blanco Don Julio, Patron Silver and Vivir Blanco have been tested and work a treat.

I don't think Blood Orange Cointreau is available in the US.  Any idea how it compares to Solerno?


Piers Knight commented on 8/10/2020:

Well Blood Orange Cointreau is sourced from Corsica and I believe the blood oranges used in Solerno originate from Sicily, so laterally, they're both geographically Italy adjacent; I haven't personally tried Solerno in lieu of Blood Orange Cointreau, but I imagine it would make a suitable substitution, considering the relative Mediterranean climates of Corsica and Sicily, the flavour profiles shouldn't be too dissimilar.
