Blood Orange Spritzer

A couple weekends ago I celebrated my 26th birthday. I really just wanted a mellow day relaxing with Eric. We went out for breakfast at one of my favorite restaurants, did some shopping, and stopped at our local fish market to pick up some fresh scallops for dinner. (Recipe coming soon!) We were going to go out for dinner but sometimes its just nice to stay in, so that's what we did!

To further celebrate, I thought I would mix up a refreshing drink using the giant bottle of orange vodka I have. (It was double the size for only a $1 more!) Unfortunately I could not find Blood Oranges so I had to use regular ones, but the blood orange sparkling water I found kind of made up for them.
