Ingredients

Serves 2!

• 3 oz Bourbon (I used Woodford Reserve)
• Bitters
• 2 blood oranges, juiced
• Handful of blueberries
• ice
• 6 oz Champagne

Instructions

Add blood orange juice to a shaker with blueberries and a handful of ice. Add 1 oz of Bourbon to the shaker with a splash of bitters (like 3-4 shakes). Shake Shake Shake for 30-60 seconds! Shaking helps to melt a little bit of the ice which helps bring this entire drink together.
Add 1 oz of Bourbon to each of your classes with two ice cubes each. Strain blood orange mixture evenly between the two glasses. Top with Champagne and garnish with a slice of blood orange, a few blueberries and a blood orange twist (take a peeler and peel some of the blood orange skin, twist and add to your glass).

Now drink and repeat a few times while you ring in the New Year!

2021 we are SO ready for you!
