So it's time for refreshing cocktails to get us through to October (seriously) when it will be comfortable again. Here's a citrusy drink inspired by one from chefs Mary Sue Millken and Susan Feniger.
Tangerine Mint Margarita
Makes one cocktail.
2 ounces freshly-squeezed tangerine juice (orange juice also works fine)
1/2 teaspoon grated tangerine zest
1 ounce fresh lime juice
5 fresh mint leaves
2 ounces reposado tequila
In a cocktail shaker, combine juices, zest and mint leaves. Muddle together. Add tequila to the shaker and fill shaker with ice. Shake thoroughly and strain into an ice-filled rocks glass. Garnish with a mint sprig and twist of tangerine peel.
