**Blood Orange (FLAVRZ) 8% (6-30-23)** -- Alright people, breaking into the THIRD series from FLAVRZ flavors with this, the Blood Orange. Now admittedly I don't use BO's very often, but when the need arises, it's got to be authentic. This one smelled REALLY close in the bottle, and got even closer in the tank. Like a [traditional Blood Orange](https://www.thespruceeats.com/all-about-blood-oranges-2216770) it wasn't as bright and punchy as a navel orange, but it had more of the darker, almost raspberry-ish notes. Now I didn't actually get raspberry from it, but it was the closest comparison I could think of. Darker, and almost rich if you could believe it. It presented as very natural, and had a subtle yet very good almost citrus oil note (in a good way) on the finish, that really helped seal the deal for me on it's authenticity. Now the last thing of note is/will be hard to explain BUT, it was almost like a little bit of an effervescence on the finish, which again, added some sparkle" to the finish, and kept it interesting. It was actually fairly complex, and one of the FIRST things I thought of when testing it, was how I NEEDED to add this to my orange creamsicle recipe. At 8% it was very full, without being over, or underpowered, and didn't leave you wanting. No off-notes and just below mid level sweet. All in, a very fresh, realistic Blood Orange, with a nice citrusy oil note on the finish, along with some effervescence. With nothing to nitpick, and/or complain about, I had to leave this one high @ **9.5/10**. If YOU are working on an orange creamsicle, you may want to ADD this one, because I think it would work out GREAT.
