Levantine Kissed Blood Orange Screwdriver Recipe

 

Today was a long hot Saturday afternoon when I craved a sundowner to sip around the pool. 

In a quandary, not sure what my palate desired, prosecco jumped to mind, but I still fancied something different. AND VOILA! I had a box of Turkish blood oranges, which I buy whenever possible as they bring sweet memories of my belated father in law. He was the best in law a woman could ever wish for. So I decided to have a toast in his memory with a blood orange screwdriver. 

I love infusing drinks or foods with a Levant touch, so what better than a blood orange screwdriver slush with a kiss of orange blossom topped with pomegranate seeds.
