Coconut Blood Orange Mocktail

Made, Written, & Photographed by the Creators of the Point

When we first made this recipe, we struggled to find blood oranges. We were just about to quit looking and substitute navel oranges when we found Meijer carried raspberry oranges---which is just a fancy branding for blood oranges.

We're very glad we kept looking because the sweet blood orange juice, instead of the navel oranges' acidic juice, really added to this refreshing mocktail.

Of course you can add a liquor to the recipe to zhuzh it up.
