Last time we were in Vegas, they made us this drink at the Aureole at the Mandalay Bay. Its got to be one of the best martinis I have ever had! The host guaranteed we would like it and we did. I watched the bartender make it and tried to remember... I couldn't find blood oranges so I had to settle for navel oranges. It might need a little more jalapeño, but I was pretty pleased with the result.
4 thin slices jalapeño pepper
2 oz grey goose l orange vodka
1/2 oz simple syrup
2 1/2 oz fresh blood orange juice (2 oranges)
1 /4 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz cranberry juice
crushed ice
Remove the seeds from the jalapeño, unless you like it very spicy. Muddle 3 of the jalapeño slices in a martini shaker, leaving last slice for garnish. Add remaining ingredients and shake. Serve straight up with the last slice of jalepeno.
I had one at the Bombay Club in Big Bear, CA. An amazing cocktail!
