Tangerine Tango
Sweet and brightly hued, this drink dances on the tongue. Although regular orange liqueur could be substituted, blood orange adds extra vibrancy.
Makes 1 drink
1 oz. vodka
3/4 oz. blood orange liqueur
1 oz. tangerine purée, such as The Perfect Purée®
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz. simple syrup
1½ oz. soda water
1 lemon wedge and 1 mint sprig, for garnish
Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 part sugar with 1 part water. Put the saucepan on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Let sit until cool. Store in a lidded container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
In a cocktail shaker, combine all the ingredients except the soda water and the garnishes. Shake well and strain into a Collins glass filled with fresh ice. Top up with soda. Garnish with the lemon wedge and mint sprig.
