Cocktail
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add Bulrush blood orange gin (2 oz), St. Germain (0.75 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.5 oz), freshly squeezed blood orange juice (0.75 oz), and superfine sugar or simple syrup (0.25 tsp).
Add ice and shake
Add a generous handful of ice (about 4 oz by volume) to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.
Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the shaken mixture into the chilled coupe or flute using a Hawthorne strainer and (optional) fine mesh strainer to remove pulp and ice shards.
Top with Prosecco
Carefully top the cocktail with chilled Prosecco (about 3 oz). Pour slowly down the side of the glass to preserve bubbles and avoid overflow.
Final taste and adjust
Taste briefly. If you want it a touch sweeter, stir in an extra 1/8 tsp simple syrup. If it needs more brightness, squeeze a tiny additional drop of lemon (about 1/8 tsp).
Garnish & Serve
Garnish by floating a blood orange wheel on the surface or by expressing a blood orange twist over the drink to release oils, then drop it in. If using thyme, gently slap the sprig between your palms to release aroma and rest it across the rim or float atop the drink.
Serve immediately while Prosecco is fizzy. Recommend serving with a small napkin or coaster.
