A citrus martini is one of my most favorite cocktails. I just love combining lemons, cara cara oranges, and blood oranges to create a totally gorgeous cocktail. It is so simple to make using fresh ingredients. Recently, this cocktail was featured on F52Drinks! 

We always have a drawer of citrus in the back fridge. An entire drawer, yep. And usually we have a few bowls of oranges on the counter. And of course grapefruit. I adore freshly squeezed citrus. Fresh is best!

What you will need for this citrus martini:

  • Lemon
  • Orange (Cara Cara prefered)
  • Blood orange
  • Orange liqueur
  • Vodka or Gina

 

Can I make these cocktails in advance in a pitcher?

Yes, a few hours before you can squeeze the juice fresh, and make a pitcher of these cocktails! You can also have juice ready and allow guest to add vodka or gin to their cocktails.

Can I take these cocktails to the beach or pool?

Oh yes, queen! Thee are the perfect cocktails to make in a huge batch! You can put them into a cooler, into bags, or mason jars. Whatever works for your party, girl!
