Effen vodka uses Tarocco oranges extract to achieve a balance of sweet and tart flavors while finishing drily. This vodka’s incredible and refreshing character makes it a good companion on a summer beach getaway. 7.

Cranberry juice is really vibrant though, so be prepared for the color of the blood orange to become more muted if you add too much cranberry juice. Alcohol

You can also experiment with other fruit-based liqueurs such as peach schnapps, triple sec, or Chambord. Bubbly Options Looking For The Best Vodka? You'll Love These Vodka Guides...
