Blood Orange Screwdriver

It's a fall cocktail. Until yesterday, I'd never purchased a blood orange. I bought three and squeezed the fresh juice from all of them to make this cocktail. The juice seemed a bit sweeter than a regular orange. Then I added a bit of citrus vodka, as well as a cinnamon stick, star anise, a slice of blood orange, and you can't see them but there are little chunks of sugared ginger on the bottom. Cheers!
