Blood orange & star anise fizz

The perfect zesty tipple for a spring celebration. Who could resist a blend of sharp blood orange, star anise and Grand Marnier, topped with bubbles?

Ingredients

  • 4 blood oranges, quartered
  • 120ml Grand Marnier
  • 1 star anise
  • 4 tsp tequila
  • prosecco
  • or champagne, to top up

Preparation

  1. Soak the blood oranges (skin on) in 100ml Grand Marnier for 3 hrs.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and tip the oranges, along with the soaking liquid, into a small roasting tin or ovenproof dish. Roast in the oven with the star anise for 30-40 mins or until the orange skins start to caramelise. Remove the skins and star anise, and purée the pulp in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and chill until needed.
  3. Mix 25ml of the purée with 1 tsp each of tequila and Grand Marnier per cocktail, and top with Prosecco or champagne to serve.
