CORZO Bite

*Created by The Cocktail Guru Jonathan Pogash

  • 1 1/2 parts Corzo Silver Tequila
  • 1/2 parts Campari
  • 1 part fresh blood orange juice
  • 1/4 parts blood (aka home-made grenadine) **
  • 2 parts Jarritos Tamarindo Soda

Process: Build all ingredients into a highball glass filled with ice.  Add the “blood” at the end.

Garnish: blood orange wheel and strawberry syrup

** Home-made grenadine: Add equal parts white sugar and POM pomegranate juice together and dissolve sugar over high on stove-top.  When dissolved, add several drops of orange flower water, simmer on low heat for 10 mins., chill, and serve.

** If blood oranges are not available, use a slice of regular orange that is soaking in “blood” as a garnish.
