Beat the heat this summer with Sette Luna's Blood Orange Cosmo. Don't let the sparkling flames fool you—this drink is the perfect refresher for a sizzling July afternoon. With blood oranges being so popular in Sicily, it's no surprise that this drink has become an all-time favorite at this rustic Italian destination in downtown Easton.
The Blood Orange Cosmo is a “complex drink,” says owner Josh Palmer. It's made of Mandarin Blossom Hangar 1 vodka (which is actually distilled in an abandoned airport hangar in California), blood orange purée and Solerno Blood Orange liqueur. The drink is then topped off with a splash of San Pellegrino Aranciata (sparkling orange juice).
But that's not all. The bartender will then ignite a flame to the rind of an orange, which is entertaining to watch, but also serves an important purpose. This releases the oils out of the rind, packing lots of extra aroma and flavor into your drink.
So grab a seat on Sette Luna's outdoor patio and sip, sip, sip.
