Winter Citrus Cocktails

Posted: 01/13/2012 8:35 am

Just when Mother Nature hits us with her chilliest temperatures, she also, fortunately, provides us with some of her tastiest and juiciest produce.

Right now there is an amazing variety of citrus fruits on store shelves, including ripe clementines, blood oranges and grapefruit, all of which are a welcome addition to the cold-weather mixological pantry.

Use these sweet-and-tart treats to create refreshing drinks with a summery flavor. Check out celebrity chef and mixologist Kathy Casey's winter-citrus guide, and then read on for some of our favorite fruity January cocktails.

The classic Negroni is a bartender favorite and an ideal pre-meal tipple, but some, unfortunately, find its bracingly bitter flavor overwhelming. If that's the case, make this variation, which adds a touch of grapefruit sweetness.

Remember people on HEART medicine CANNOT drink grapefruit juice.
Many years ago (about 35) I learned this the hard way. My heart doctor never told me about what it can do to a person on heart medicie. They should put warnings on grape fruit containers.

We're blessed to have three orange trees, two varieties of grapefruit and a tangerine.....all of which are just now approaching fruit-perfection.

....can't beat going out and picking your brekkies beverage.
