Blood Orange Martini

I can't think of a better way to begin, than they way I like to begin every meal—with a cocktail! And not just ANY cocktail, but one that can only be enjoyed seasonally. Blood oranges are readily available only a few months here in New England, so I plan to indulge as much as possible. That should leave me sober sometime around the end of March. Cheers!
