A Blood Orange Cardamom Bubbly cocktail recipe just in time for New Year’s Eve!
It’s here! Happy almost 2017, friends! New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite days of the year – the glitter, the celebrations, the cocktails (duh), and time spent with friends all in one day. Count me a NYE fan for life. It’s also my anniversary with Tim – well technically, 12:01 am on January 1, so a special day to say the least.
Blood Orange Cardamom Bubbly
With New Year’s Eve’s rapid arrival (I mean really, how is it here already?), I wanted to create an easy to make cocktail with just a few ingredients. However, I always love adding something a little special. A fun homemade surprise, if you will. For this Blood Orange Cardamom Bubbly, it’s the tasty vanilla-cardamom simple syrup.
If you’re new to making simple syrup at home, this one is as easy as whipping up your general simple syrup. All you add is a touch of vanilla extract and a hint of cardamom after heating up the sugar and water for one heck of a tasty, easy cocktail.

3 parts freshly squeezed blood orange juice
2 parts cava
1 part vanilla-cardamom simple syrup

How are you celebrating New Year’s Eve this evening? We’re heading to a little get-together with a few friends to ring in the new year. No matter what you end up doing, I hope it’s a sparkly, festive, happy occasion!
Here’s to 2017, y’all!
