Last Summer I had the sudden urge to make a blood orange cocktail but was completely disappointed when I learned that they're only in season November through May. Since we've been having a mini heat wave recently in California, I decided to make my much anticipated cocktail for a sunny winter day. I used this recipe that calls for champagne and gin and used fresh picked blood oranges from the beau's parent's orchard. It was a perfectly sweet and refreshing mix that I will definitely be making again.

Oooh I love blood oranges! They're the most delicious citrus, and so pretty to boot. That looks gorgeous and refreshing, I'm dying to take a sip!
Gorg! I had a blood orange the other day as a snack. Right now, it's only 5am and I want a cocktail. Is that weird?
This looks awesome. And I love your outfit.

Now this is my kind of cocktail! I especially love that you picked the oranges yourself.
Oh this sounds so good. I love that your beau's parent's have an orchard, makes me insanely jealous!
How gorgeous is the orchard! I'm going to have to bookmark this recipe :) xo

Wow, isn't it so nice to just pick the blood oranges straight from the orchard? That must really feel good! :)

LOVE blood oranges!! Such a great idea : )
gorgeous picture picking the oranges :) waxy deep green on your white and washed blue. love!
Question! I just got this same J.Crew shirt, but I'm not too sure how it should fit. I have noooo chest, so I went with a smaller size so it wasn't so baggy in that area, but it's definitely "more fit" everywhere else. Yours seems to be more loose all around and looks good! What do you think?!
holy cow batman that looks DEEEELISH! What a great shot of you at the orchard, beautiful!
The drink looks lovely as does the white jeans and Chambray combo!
