So with the weather getting hotter, and blood orange season ending, I though I'd try to extend my enjoyment of blood oranges just a little bit longer by making blood orangecello.

Chicago Review Press. p.215. ISBN 9781613747254. We've all heard of limoncello, and I'm sure at some point in your life you've tried it. It's beautifully tart and oh so refreshing, especially served ice cold on a hot summers day. Basically, if you can skin fruit and pour vodka in a jar, you can make some homemade ‘cello…..oh, and boil water…you have to be able to boil water…for the simple syrup…which also requires measuring sugar.Lucozade Sport is a major sponsor of events, teams and athletes in the UK and Ireland, including the Amateur Rowing Association (ARA), FA Premier League, FA Cup, England Rugby Football Union, England Football Team, the Republic Of Ireland Football Team, the London Marathon, Parkrun, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Damien Duff, Ronan O'Gara and Ben Wynne. [ citation needed] In May 2016, Liverpool City Council ran a "name-and-shame campaign" entitled "Is your child’s sweet tooth harming their health?". The short-lived campaign claimed that Lucozade was "the worst offender", containing 62 grams of sugar in a 500 ml bottle, followed by Coca-Cola with 54 grams. Posters for the campaign were displayed in hospitals for a time. [10] While the ingredients vary somewhat from one drink to another, those of the Lucozade Original Energy were listed as follows in 2013: carbonated water, glucose syrup (25%), citric acid (E330), lactic acid (E270), flavouring (unspecified), preservatives ( potassium sorbate, sodium bisulphite (E-222)), caffeine, antioxidant ( ascorbic acid), colour ( sunset yellow (E110), Ponceau 4R). After the reformulation to lower sugar in 2017, and another reformulation in 2023, Lucozade Original contains the sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame K. her BFF is Lemoncello and I love them both equally! I suppose you could ‘cello’ about any fruit? (see how cool I am…I just call it ‘cello now..thats how close we are – me and my ‘cello…mmmmm). Limecello would be divine!

Lucozade comes in the form of liquid in either a can or plastic bottle, or it can come in the form of a tablet. The tablets have the flavours of either orange or the original flavour. [24] Following its rebranding as a sports drink, high-profile athletic figures in British pop culture have promoted Lucozade in television commercials, beginning with Olympic decathlon champion Daley Thompson in 1983, followed by sporting figures such as Olympic sprint champion Linford Christie, footballers John Barnes and Alan Shearer, rugby player Jonny Wilkinson, and Tomb Raider heroine Lara Croft. [14] Purpose and effectiveness [ edit ] Sponsored by Lucozade, footballer John Barnes appeared in an early 1990s commercial, stating: "this is Isotonic Lucozade Sport, it gets to your thirst, fast". [20] Typically, after the oranges release their oils into the alcohol, you strain the liquid and dispense with the peels. I just couldn’t get myself to, they looked so pretty! But anyway, the alcohol counters any mold or fungus that might form in other cases, but make sure you refrigerate it. These stay good for over a year, or so I’m told. In any case it’s quite unlikely that it’s going to stay around for that long in our household!

Recipe

In a sealable container that holds at least eight cups, pour in one bottle of 80-proof vodka. Add the skins of five or six ripe oranges (any variety, Zutant says, just be sure to avoid the pith as it will make the 'cello bitter) and half of a Madagascar vanilla bean. (If you don't know what to do with the other half, consider burying it in sugar to make vanilla sugar.) In 1953, a factory for the production of Lucozade products was opened in Brentford, west London, which, until 2004, had an iconic sign seen on the side of the M4 motorway (now in Gunnersbury Park Museum).

This beautiful liquor makes a fabulous gift when put in a pretty bottle but save some for the cook! Lucozade contains 0.01% ethanol (alcohol), which meant that observant Muslims could not drink it. However, in 2004, the Muslim Council of Britain ruled that they saw no harm in consuming Lucozade which contains traces of ethyl alcohol that do not bear its original qualities and do not change the taste, colour or smell. GlaxoSmithKline pointed out that fruit juices and bread could also contain the same or higher trace amounts of alcohol due to natural fermentation.
