Blood Orange Juice For Your Health & For Fun.
Italian Organics sent me a couple bottles of their Organic Sicilian Blood Orange Juice. They’re based in Staten Island, New York. I did a little work for them some time ago and have been wanting to try this juice ever since. Thanks for sending it Alfredo. It’s tasty. Italian Organics (I.O.) is working on finding more suppliers across the United States. Right now it’s available in New York, but let’s hope it’s soon shelved in a store near us.
You can drink to your health knowing that Organic Blood Oranges contain Anthocyanins, which act as powerful Antioxidants. I.O. harvests this exceptional fruit in volcanic soil near Mt. Etna Sicily. Not only does it taste great, but it’s rich in Potassium, Calcium, Iron, Fiber, and Vitamins A & C.
And since it’s so good for you, if you want to make a Blood Orange Martini out of it, that’s okay. The recipe I used is linked below. Instead of using typical Orange Juice in your Martini, shake things up with this colorful juice. It makes a prettier presentation too. And I added a Sugared Rim to sweeten the deal. Yummy!

I really liked your blog!
Yes, I do agree too with your point of view. Great post! Our bodies make their own antioxidants, but they also make use of antioxidants in the foods we eat. Studies have shown there are many benefits from eating plenty of antioxidant-rich foods which, together with an active and balanced lifestyle, can help reduce the risk of certain cancers and heart disease.
Hi! Jason here… found your blog through the ol’ Google while searching around and wanted to say hello. I’ll be sure to read more of your posts – looks like a great site.
Cheers!
Thanks for the link!
I like the idea that if the juice in a martini is healthy, the martini itself is healthy! haha I’ll have to make one; I still have one bottle of sample juice left.
