We are going to make mocktails with the most beautiful orange there is! The blood orange, you immediately recognize it by its fiery flesh. There are three different types of blood oranges. The Sanguinello, used in this mocktail, is only available in February and March. The Tarocco is there from December to April and the Moro from December to February. This really is a seasonal product, but oh so nice to work with. We give this mocktail recipe extra flavor with the elderflower syrup and Elderflower tonic. If you really don't like tonic, use spa red. always wanted to know why they are so beautiful red? I'll tell you more about it below the recipe. But now let's get started with this blood orange elderflower tonic mocktail.

The blood orange is a unique fruit known for its beautiful red color. This color is caused by the production of anthocyanins, a substance that is also responsible for the color of, for example, red cabbage. Anthocyanins become active when the temperature varies between hot and cold. This is why the blood orange grows especially well on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Just like here, they have cold winter nights there, but they can enjoy plenty of sunlight during the day.
The blood orange is not only beautiful to look at, but also delicious in taste. It's a popular Italian treat that's perfect for making mocktail recipes or just drinking it as a juice. Because of its unique taste and color, the blood orange is an excellent addition to many dishes and drinks.
Thanks to its rich nutritional value, the blood orange is also healthy. The fruit contains a lot of vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber. In short, the blood orange is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a healthy and delicious addition to your diet.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
