A citrus liqueur (typically 25-30% ABV) made by macerating blood oranges (Sanguinello, Moro, or Tarocco varieties — primarily Sicilian) in neutral grain spirit and sweetening with sugar. The blood-orange character contributes a distinctly berry-toned, slightly tart and bittersweet citrus profile that diverges from the cleaner sweetness of generic triple sec or curaçao. Used in modern citrus-forward cocktails (e.g., Blood Orange Margaritas, Blood Orange Cosmopolitans, Sicilian-style spritzes), bringing a deeper red-orange hue and a more complex bittersweet finish than orange-liqueur substitutes. Representative brands: Solerno (Sicilian blood orange), Adriatico Blood Orange, Combier Liqueur de Sanguine.
