Ingredients
3/4 cup sugar
8 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
6 strips blood orange zest
1/2 cup chilled Lillet Rouge
1 tablespoon blood orange juice
1/3 to 1/2 cup cold seltzer
Blood orange slice, for garnish
Directions
- Make the spiced syrup: Combine 1 1/2 cups water, the sugar, cloves, cinnamon stick and blood orange zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar; simmer until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Let cool, then strain.
- Make the cocktail: Combine the Lillet, blood orange juice and 1 tablespoon of the spiced syrup in a large glass and stir. Add ice and top with seltzer. Garnish with a blood orange slice.
