    This Blood Orange Mojito Mocktail is perfect for all occasions. The blood orange and mint compliments the lime and honey simple syrup oh so nicely. This drink is naturally refined sugar free and only takes only 10 minutes to prep and make.

    I love blood oranges, especially during blood orange season which runs from December to May/June. This mojito is a combination of all of my favorites-honey, blood oranges, mint and club soda!

    • Blood oranges-Blood oranges are what makes this mocktail. I like to think of blood oranges as the lesser sweet version of regular oranges. They are just as good but not as sweet yet so much prettier.

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I dehydrate blood oranges?

    Dehydrated blood oranges make for a fun garnish! You will want to slice the oranges real thin, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Then, lay the oranges in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 2-3 hours depending on how thick the oranges are.

    What do blood oranges taste like?

    Blood oranges taste like navel oranges, however they are bit more tart!

    Can I use regular oranges?

    Yes you can use regular oranges in place of blood oranges.

    Can I add alcohol?

    Yes you can add alcohol, however this drink is so good that I love drinking the alcohol free version. If I were to add alcohol, I would add rum.

    Storage Instructions
