Wintry blood oranges are the secret ingredient to John's cocktail, a seasonal ode to the classic champagne-based French 75 (check out his Italian 75 here). 

John created this drink to go with the Valentine's Day dinner he made for Rach: Chicken Saltimbocca with Wilted Garlic Spinach. And don't miss the Dark Chocolate Almond Torte With Fresh Berries that Rach's sister made for them!
