Coronado Luau Special

Okay so I had a few beautiful blood oranges and wanted to pick a cocktail that really featured them. I was looking for something tropical and refreshing and found the perfect recipe in Beachbum Berry Remixed. I tweaked the recipe a bit, omitting the Grand Marnier in favor of having that blood orange flavor shine. The use of rich simple (2:1) and an increased amount of cognac made up for the missing orange liqueur’s sweetness and ABV. Either version makes for an absolutely fantastic fruit-forward drink.
