Bloody Orange

The Bloody Orange is an alcohol-free drink: 3 ingredients, shaken and served in a highball. That makes 254 ml in the glass: a long drink.

Ingredients

• 70 mlfresh orange juice
• 70 mlapple juice
• 60 mlbeetroot juice

Method

1. Shake the three juices with a few ice cubes.
2. Strain into the glass.

Garnish: An orange slice, if you like.

What it tastes like

bitter → sweet

Sweetness shows without covering: it comes from apple juice, with 0.5 out of 10 of bitterness holding it back.

round → sour

Acidity leaves it halfway: 96th of 186, and the acid comes from fresh orange juice.

light → strong

No alcohol to speak of: 254 ml in the glass and under one degree, so it sits at the bottom of the axis with the other alcohol-free drinks.

Its closest neighbour is the Pimm's Cup: 96 out of 100 for similarity.
