Science Of Drink

As you know mandarine (tangerine) is one of my favorite citrus fruits. Tangerine (juice) is so rare ingredient for mixology. This interesting cocktail was found on Dale`s DeGroff site:

Tangerine Margarita

60 ml tequila (Sauza Conmemorativo)
30 ml Cointreau
15 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml fresh tangerine juice
Shake. Serve on the rocks with salt rim.

It is amazing coctail, first of all, because it is Margarita :) Great Margarita on the rocks with some piquant note of fresh tangerines. Great cocktail, but in my mind was born some fantasies:

Mandarine Margarita

60 ml tequila
30 ml Mandarine Napoleon liqueur
15 ml fresh lime juice
15 ml fresh tangerine juice
Shake. Strain over ice into old-fashioned glass with salt rim. Garnish with lime wheel.

Admirable! This cocktail has rich sunny color and interesting taste, because it is Margarita too :)
