How to Make Tangerine Caipiroshka

  1. Peel one large tangerine (or mexerica). Cut into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a rocks glass, combine the tangerine pieces with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Gently muddle (or crush with a wooden spoon) until the tangerine releases its juices and the sugar is mostly dissolved. Don't over-muddle!
  3. Add 2 ounces (60ml) of premium vodka to the glass.
  4. Stir gently to combine the vodka and tangerine mixture.
  5. Fill the glass with ice.
  6. Stir again to chill thoroughly.
  7. Garnish with a tangerine wedge (optional).
