This is one DELICIOUS and easy to make drink! It is very summery, perfect for a party!

I found the gin at the VA ABC store. You can check their website to see if your nearby location stocks it. VA ABC Link

One serving

1 or 2 shots (1.5 - 3 ounces) Malfy Blood Orange Gin (I do one shot myself.)

1 ounce simple syrup (recipe below)

Dash of Triple Sec

Juice from one small lime

Ice

Club soda or sparkling water

Sprig of mint for garnish

In a large tumbler, combine the gin, simple syrup, triple sec and lime juice. Add the ice and top with sparkling water!

Simple Syrup

Makes 3/4 cup

Place 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the syrup from the stove and let cool. Store in a glass jar in the frig.
