Ducktober 25 – Muddled

Recipe for The Muddled Duck

Ingredients

• Three round slices of blood orange
• Castor sugar
• Juice of half a lime
• White rum
• Cognac
• Seltzer

Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, muddle 2 quarter inch slices of blood orange, one tablespoon castor sugar, and juice of half a lime.  This helps to bruise the orange peels and let the oils come out. Add 2 ounces white rum and 2 ounces cognac.  Add crushed ice and shake vigorously. Pour into a chilled highball glass.  Add 6 ounces of seltzer and slice of blood orange for garnish.

Should you use Triple Sec or Cointreau instead of the cognac? I mean, you do you. I wouldn’t because I want the flavor of the blood orange.
