serves 2
Ingredients

• A few ice cubes
• 1 cup blood orange juice* 
• 1–2 tsp. fresh lime juice
• 1–2 tsp. agave (if needed)
• 2/3 cup sparkling water
• 6–8 mint leaves
• A few slices of blood orange and/or lime (optional)​

Preparation​​​

• Place a few ice cubes in an 8-12 oz. glass
• Add blood orange juice, fresh lime juice, and agave. (Taste your blood orange juice before adding the agave. Sometimes it’s super sweet juice, other times, it’s tart. That’ll help you determine how much sweetener you might need.)
• Stir to combine.
• Top off with 1/3 cup sparkling water. (You can go up to 1/2 cup sparkling water, if desired)
• Garnish with mint leaves and citrus slices (optional)

Notes*

• Blood Orange Alternatives: If blood oranges are out of season, you can use Cara Cara oranges, navel oranges, or any other ripe, fresh orange. Fresh clementine or tangerine juice also works!
