Marissa's MediterraneanA bubbly, aromatic Italian-inspired refresher made with juicy blood oranges, fresh rosemary, and sparkling water—perfect for hydrating the family on warm evenings without any added sugar overload. Zesty, herby, and effortlessly chic! 🍊🌿
Juice the 4 blood oranges to get about 2 cups of juice.
Roll the oranges on the counter first to maximize juice yield.
In a large pitcher, gently muddle one rosemary sprig to release its oils.
Don't over-muddle—keep it fragrant, not bitter.
Add the blood orange juice and honey to the pitcher. Stir vigorously until the honey fully dissolves.
Warm honey slightly if needed for easier mixing.
Fill 4 tall glasses with 4 ice cubes each. Pour the mixture evenly into the glasses, then top each with 1 cup sparkling water.
Stir gently to preserve the fizz.
Garnish each glass with a rosemary sprig and a blood orange slice. Serve immediately.
The colors pop beautifully—great for photos too!
Pro tip: Muddle the rosemary gently to release those piney oils without overpowering the citrus. Healthy made easy for sunny days!
