This Blood Orange Bourbon Smash will become one of your new favorites. It’s a quick, easy cocktail that tastes delicious and has the added bonus of being perfect for any occasion – from dinner parties or impromptu playdates turned into company food at home with friends! Everyone loves citrus flavors in their drinks (and who doesn’t love that gorgeous red color?), so this drink is sure not disappoint anyone who takes sip after ice-cold sip until there are no more drops left over. Maple syrup sweetens things up just enough without making them overly saccharine; you can taste each ingredient separately instead were having synthetic sugar masking individual tastes like liquor often does
