Recipe
2 ounces vodka (any type that you like)
1/2 ounce Grand Mariner liqueur
1 ounce honey simple syrup (recipe below)
2 ounces fresh tangerine juice
1 ounce fresh grapefruit juice
Tangerine pieces/pegs for garnish
Simple syrup recipe
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
In a sauce pan combine all simple syrup ingredients on low heat. Stir until the sugar has melted completely. Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into a jar and refrigerate.
Directions for Martini
In a shaker add crushed ice. Pour vodka, grand mariner, simple syrup, tangerine and grapefruit juices and shake until it is nicely chilled.
Skewer your pieces of tangerine onto a martini pick and pour your drink into a chilled martini glass. Enjoy!
A twist on this could be if you like grapefruit then switch the measurements of the grapefruit juice with the tangerine, so you taste more of that.
If you want your drink less sweeter, use less of the simple syrup.
Drink responsibly!
