Exploring Raspberry Orange Cocktails & Blood Orange Rum Cocktails Beyond Sunkist While the Sunkist soda makes this recipe incredibly simple, you don't have to stop there. If you're looking for more raspberry orange cocktail ideas, you could try muddling fresh raspberries with a squeeze of fresh orange juice (or blood orange juice for that unique flavor!) before adding your rum and topping with soda water or even a splash of sparkling wine. For a richer blood orange rum cocktail, consider using dark rum – the deeper notes really complement the citrus. A simple twist I often do is a 'Blood Orange Rum Smash': muddle a few blood orange slices with mint, add rum, a dash of simple syrup, and top with club soda. It’s a game-changer!
