Cocktails are the perfect thing for trying out exotic fruits. Passionfruit works very well. Despite how pretty they look on the outside, dragon fruits are good for nothing, except looking pretty. But blood oranges are perfect. Somewhere inbetween a pink grapefruit and an orange, they're bright, juicy and yummy. And perfect for making cocktails, like this blood orange martini.You'll need:
- 75ml vodka
- 15ml triple sec
- 50ml blood orange juice
- 1 blood orange slice
Shake the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with the blood orange slice. Try this concoction with all the different exotic fruits you can find. Except the dragon fruit. Leave that on the shelf where it belongs.

I still don't think it's a martini unless it has gin in it. But that could work in this recipe...
