Blood Orange Manischewitz Cocktail

 

The Blood Orange Manischewitz Cocktail is a unique and flavorful addition to any Passover celebration. Made with reduced Manischewitz wine syrup and freshly squeezed blood orange juice, this cocktail offers a perfect balance of sweetness and depth.

It's a fun and festive way to incorporate the traditional Manischewitz wine into your holiday celebration. The recipe is also versatile, as regular Navel oranges can be used if blood oranges are not available. Overall, this cocktail is a must-try for anyone looking to add a creative twist to their Passover festivities.
