Ingredients
- 2 segments blood orange
- 2 basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 5 ounces sparkling wine, such as prosecco
- 4 ounces blood orange Italian soda
- Blood orange wheel, to garnish
Instructions
- Add the blood orange segments, basil and sugar to the bottom of a glass.

Top up with ice. Garnish with a blood orange wheel and enjoy.

So refreshing on a warm day. Had no problem finding blood oranges and the soda.
So refreshing! I couldn’t get blood orange Italian soda so I used grapefruit Italian soda. It was a good substitute. I highly recommend it!
