Sunset Blood Orange & Raspberry Mojito – a beautifully tart-sweet cocktail that’s as easy to make as it is to fall in love with.
Bright citrus from the blood orange meets juicy raspberries and fresh mint for a refreshing twist on the classic mojito. It’s vibrant, lightly sweet, perfectly balanced, and dangerously sippable.

Ingredients
-
5 fresh mint leaves – gently muddled for that cooling, garden-fresh aroma.
-
2 oz rum – the smooth, sunny backbone of the cocktail.
-
2 oz simple syrup – just enough sweetness to balance the citrus pop.
-
Juice of 1 blood orange – bold, ruby-red citrus with a slightly berry-like edge.
-
Juice of ½ lime – sharp, zesty lift to keep it crisp.
-
¼ cup fresh raspberries, juiced and strained – mash them well and strain out the seeds for a smooth, vibrant berry finish.
-
Sparkling water – for that light, fizzy sparkle.
-
Ice – plenty, because this drink is best served icy-cold and refreshing.
Fresh, fruity, and made for slow summer sipping. 🍹✨
Method
Let’s give this a little mojito magic. 🍊🍓🌿🍹
1. Wake Up the Mint
In a tall glass, add the mint leaves and rum. Gently muddle for about a minute — press just enough to release the oils without shredding the leaves. We want fragrance, not confetti. You can leave the mint in for extra flavour or remove it if you prefer a cleaner sip.
2. Ice It Properly
Fill the glass generously with ice. Mojitos love to stay frosty.
3. Build the Brightness
Pour in the simple syrup, fresh blood orange juice, lime juice, and strained raspberry juice. Give it a good stir so all those tart-sweet flavours mingle beautifully.
4. Add the Sparkle
Top with sparkling water for that refreshing fizz. Give it one gentle stir to lift everything through the glass.
Fresh, vibrant, lightly fizzy — basically sunshine with attitude. 🍹✨
