Hello Spring
It is a whopping 80 degrees and beautiful. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming.
That groundhog had it dead wrong this time.
So, what does spring mean to me? Other than allergy season...
BRUNCH.

And what does every successful brunch have in common?

Sparkling Blood Orange Screwdriver Cocktail
This sparkling blood orange screwdriver recipe takes the boring old hum drum OJ and vodka up a few notches. Bubbles are what makes this pop. The fizz adds such fun and pizazz to the drink. The bold bright gorgeous colors also make this drink memorable.
The flavor though, that's where this cocktail shines. So vibrant and refreshing, it really is the perfect springtime brunch cocktail. Blood Oranges are actually not a springtime fruit, but hey, mother nature is in a weird limbo and winter fruit is still what is readily available.

Momtrends Tip: If you cannot find blood oranges, naval or even mandarin oranges can be substituted.
If your kid is anything like mine, you better not run out of those cutie bagged oranges. The commercials have my son pegged for sure. They work perfectly in this cocktail too, if you can get the kids to share.
