Instructions

Chill Your Glass:

Begin by chilling a rocks glass in the freezer to enhance the drinking experience, keeping the cocktail perfectly cold.

Mix the Ingredients:

In a cocktail shaker, fill it halfway with ice to ensure the drink is well chilled.
Pour in the bourbon for a robust and smooth foundation. Bourbon is the soul of this cocktail, providing a strong base that complements the other flavors.
Add the triple sec, which introduces a subtle sweetness that balances the heat from the Tabasco.
Pour a generous splash of blood orange juice. The juice not only adds a citrusy tang but also a striking color that makes the drink visually appealing.

Add the Spice:

Incorporate two dashes of Tabasco sauce. This element is crucial as it embodies Deadpool’s spicy and unpredictable nature. Adjust the amount based on how much heat you can handle.

Shake and Serve:

Shake the mixture vigorously until the cocktail shaker feels cold to the touch. This ensures that all the ingredients are beautifully integrated and the drink is sufficiently chilled.
Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish:

Garnish with a slice of blood orange on the rim of the glass. This not only adds to the aesthetic but also enhances the flavor profile with every sip.
