blood orange whiskey negroni
On the road again.
Well, actually in the air again.
I am headed west to my neighboring state, Utah, for a fun girls ski weekend getaway at Deer Valley. This will be my third time visiting this resort. The first to attend the Inspired Blogger Retreat and the second with my main slice, Mr.B.
As a skier and a foodie, I like to think of Deer Valley as my little mecca. So to be going back with a gaggle of my best mates (Annalise, Megan, Meagan, Erin, Liz, and Becky) to ski, drink wine, and eat, is icing on the cake!
But, before we kick off this super-fun weekend, I need to arm y’all with a cocktail. While traveling in Japan, we learned about a famous, or should I say “world’s best whiskey”, The Yamazaki Single Malt Whiskey.
Yamazaki is made in Kyoto about 3 hours from Toyko. The reason for it’s world title and perfection is the purity of the water says the Suntory distillery. And after roaming the streets of Tokyo with 25 million plus people and never spotting a single piece of trash on the ground, I would believe it.
The Japanese say the best way to drink this whiskey is straight up, which I totally respect. But. To keep the hair on my chest at a minimum, I need a little fluff with my whiskey. Enter this, Blood Orange Whiskey Negroni. I am smitten with this cocktail. You can still taste the rich, musky whiskey, but add a splash of blood orange and Campari, it’s like fruity whiskey heaven!

Have a great weekend!

You are speaking my language. And as I’m high in the sky as I type this and on my way to tackle hug you – I hope you snuck a little of this in your bag – because it looks DIVINE!
Oh yes! I could use a few of these!
Thanks, Trish! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
Oh. . .I am with you. . .I need a little fluff with my liquor too. This looks so refreshing. I could easily drink one. . .or two. . .or three. . .
Right?! Thanks, Lynn!
What a beautiful drink! I have a new bottle of Japanese whiskey at home that I haven’t tried. I am sure this recipe will be just the right one to try with.
It’s the best! Definitely a new fav!
I definitely can only take my whiskey with a side of fluff…especially if that fluff is ACTUALLY blood orange juice. All the good stuff!
Looks like an amazing cocktail! I’m always looking for new ways to use blood orange juice!
