Cocktail Description
The Blood Moon Martini casts an enchanting crimson spell in the glass, transforming the classic martini into something altogether more mysterious.
This striking cocktail balances the botanical bite of Beefeater gin with the complementary sweet and dry characteristics of both vermouths, while fresh blood orange juice adds a vivid citrus brightness and that signature ruby-red color. You'll taste juniper and citrus up front, followed by herbal vermouth notes and a subtly sweet finish. It's perfect for autumn gatherings or whenever blood oranges are in season—the ideal sophisticated cocktail for dinner parties where you want to make an impression without veering into overly sweet territory. Even novice home bartenders can master this recipe with basic shaking technique, though the fine straining ensures a silky-smooth texture worth the extra effort. The Blood Moon Martini pairs beautifully with light appetizers like goat cheese crostini or seafood dishes, as its bright acidity cuts through richness while the herbal notes complement savory foods.
