For the orange juice I use simply orange. Use a brand you love and trust. We use the pulp free version. Though it doesn’t matter the brand just make sure it’s orange juice and not something like SunnyD.

Slice a blood orange into wedges. Cut across the wedge and place on the glass. I like to serve this with blood oranges because they have such great flavor. Top off with a maraschino cherry.
