It used to be that blood oranges came around only at Christmastime and had to be flown in from Malta. Now, however, they are grown in California and Florida and have a much longer season. We show them off in what’s become a signature cocktail at Bubby’s.

Ingredients

　　2 ounces (1/4 cup) fresh blood orange juice

　　3 ounces Champagne

　　Twist of blood orange zest
