The blood oranges come from Matchbook's citrus partners at Flavors by Bhumi ; they arrive in Greenport, New York from California just days off the tree. For those that have never seen 8,000 pounds of fruit all at once, it is wonder to behold.
The blood oranges are halved and covered in re-distilled botanical cuts, the flavorful remnant spirits from making gin. Left to macerate for weeks, the liquid slowly takes on a delightful ruby tone and unmistakable bittersweet zing. After straining and pressing, precious herbs and spices from Rare Tea Cellar are added to the liquid: quassia, pink peppercorns, cloud forest cardamom, gentian, Indian cinnamon bark, and wild cherry bark. The botanicals pair perfectly with the juicy rich notes of blood orange and peel.
Serve Elsewhere Blood Orange Aperitivo with anything effervescent as well as anything exuding warm weather vibes.
