Tangerine Margarita
Substituting tangerine juice for lime in a margarita is a revelation. The taste is gentler, a little sweeter, and far more aromatic—the tangerine flavor acts as a shadow for the orange liqueur, amplifying its presence. If you can get a Meyer lemon to garnish with (it adds a final burst of citrus perfume), go for it. If not, a regular Eureka lemon will do just fine.
Ingredients
- ice cream
- 11⁄2 ounce añejo tequila
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed tangerine juice
- 1 ounce triple sec orange liqueur preferably cointreau
- thin lemon slice preferably from a meyer lemon
