Citrus Kiss

Ingredients:
About 2 tbsp. superfine sugar

1 cup ice

1/3 cup blood orange sparkling cider or sparkling cider with few orange food color mixed

1 tablespoon mandarin orange or tangerine juice

2 tablespoons Lemon-Lime Juice 

2 tablespoons Simple Syrup or 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Method:
Simple Syrup: Equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves. (Your yield will be the same as the amount of water you use.)

Lemon-Lime Juice: Equal parts freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice, for adding acidity in a flash.

1. Put sugar on a plate. Run a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of a martini glass to wet it, then twist rim in sugar.

2. Put remaining ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake until cold, about 1 minute. Strain drink into prepared glass.

Tip of the day: Fruits must be washed shortly before eating it; rinsing it long before eating it, increases the decomposition process.
