Let’s Muddle This Up
Mix the Magic: Take a cup of the tangerine juice and combine fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves and release their oils and flavor into the juice. Transfer to a large pitcher and let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Chill and Serve: Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Add the Fizz: Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water. A cup is usually good, but add more if you want to.
Garnish and Enjoy: Fill glasses with ice if desired, pour the Tangerine Mint Sparkler over the ice, and garnish with additional fresh mint leaves.
Final Notes and Tips
- Freshness Matters: Use freshly squeezed tangerine juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust to Taste: If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, let the mixture sit for a longer time or add more mint leaves.
- Variation: For a more festive twist, add a splash of vodka or rum for a grown-up version of the Sunset Spritzer.
- If you like the drink a little sweeter: Add a little bit of honey or “good” maple syrup.
The Tangerine Mint Refresher is more than just a drink; it’s a celebration of spring and summer in a glass. Its inviting appearance, captivating aroma, and delightful taste make it a must-have for anyone looking to embrace the season’s warmth and vibrancy.
