Nelson's Blood

The recipe...

2 oz dark rum
1/4 lemon, squeezed
1/4 orange, squeezed
1/4 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz blood orange juice
1/4 oz brandy
1/4 oz falernum
2 oz ginger beer


What I did...

2 oz Doorly's XO rum
3/4 oz blood orange juice
1/2 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz E&J VSOP brandy
1/4 oz falernum
2 oz ginger beer

So basically I just went with all blood orange, which isn't specified in the recipe, because that made more sense to me than squeezing a little juice out of two oranges. Correct or not, it was tasty.
