The Blood Orange Spritz has become one of the most photographed visual cocktails in the last three years. Its deep red color and the presence of a dehydrated blood orange slice on the rim of the glass make it the most requested garnish in luxury properties and signature bars.
The Blood Orange as a Visual Marketing Tool
In the era of user-generated content, every cocktail that leaves the bar is a marketing opportunity. The dehydrated blood orange has a unique visual profile: burgundy and maroon tones with a translucent texture that catches the light in a way no other garnish can replicate. Hotels and rooftop bars in San Juan have begun to incorporate this garnish precisely because of its ability to generate organic social media content from the customers themselves.
