Ingredients
- 3 cups blood orange juice fresh or bottled
- 1 oz mezcal or dark rum
- 0.5 oz cherry liqueur or grenadine
- 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 cup tart cherry juice
- Splash of soda water or prosecco optional
- 1 cup tequila or mezcal optional, for stronger flavor

Instructions
- Prep your glasses:
- Rim each glass with a bit of lime juice and dip it into red sugar. It gives the perfect “bloody” sparkle.
