Ingredients

• 1 ounce London dry gin
• 1 ounce orange liqueur
• 1-1/2 ounces orange juice
• 3 ounces St. James Winery Raspberry Wine
• sliced blood orange

Instructions

1. Combine the first three ingredients in a shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake vigorously to chill, then strain into a martini glass.
3. Slowly pour the wine down the inside of the glass, allowing the wine to sink to the bottom, creating a layered drink.
4. Garnish with a slice of blood orange.

Quick Notes

Inspired by a classic cocktail, the Red Lion, this is a really beautiful and zesty wine cocktail. Some may be afraid of the gin (substitute vodka). Having the raspberry wine on the bottom makes for a great effect as well. The raspberry flavors come in at the end of each drink, making for a complex flavor profile. Blood oranges are a great garnish, and match the color of this layered drink perfectly.
