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.

Ingredients:

 

  • 2 cups of Manischewitz Concord Grape wine.
  • 2 tbsp of HG Agave blue syrup

  • 1 ounce of blood orange juice.
  • Blood orange round for garnish.

 

How to make

1. Pour the Manischewitz into a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let cook until thickened and syrupy, about fifteen minutes. Let syrup cool. This will make enough syrup for about 8 cocktails.

2. Fill shaker with ice.

3. add 2 teaspoons of the HG Agave syrup, vodka, and blood orange juice.

4. Shake well until mixed and well-chilled. Strain into a glass and garnish with the blood orange slice. Serve immediately.
