Light and refreshing this cocktail is the perfect start to your Easter festivities or any Springtime Celebration. Key lime, blood orange, and kumquat juice sweetened with a bit of brown sugar and mixed with Rum before being garnished with fresh mint,  this cocktail is as lovely to look at as it is to drink.

You can use any citrus in this cocktail but the blood orange is what gives it it's lovely pink hue.  If you don't have key limes you 1 regular lime.  No oranges on hand?  Try it with 1/4 of a grapefruit instead.

This is not only a wonderful cocktail for starting a party it is also a great ending to our Spring Sweets Week 2023 event.  I hope you had a good time and found a few sweet recipes to welcome in the season.

Cheers!!
