Mandarin Margarita

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Usual recipe
Last night’s earthly delight, to compliment our bbq dinner. Well, the salad part anyway. Ok, let’s get this right, one of the salads also had mandarin. And while I was zesting, then squeezing some mandarin, I did think “this can go in a margarita as well.
The salad was a mix of watercress and mandarin, with some red onion, and some avocado. The dressing required the zest and juice of a mandarin, with some other stuff.
The food was a mix of Asian and Italian flavours. Weird, did I hear you think? Yep, but it worked.
And we have had perfect bbq evenings of late. And bbq also means less dishes, right?

For the margarita, I did

60ml Tequila-Fortaleza used
30ml Clémént Shrubb
30ml Lime Juice
5ml Agave Syrup
60ml Mandarin Juice

What I did here was zest the mandarin and then mixed the zest with the juice, for a bit of punch. I was already zesting mandarins, so I just did an extra one.

Shake all with ice, and I dirty poured, adding more ice, to fill my glass.
There were no more mandarins left by this time. So the flaming flamingos had to suffice for a garnish. Because, you know, they add sex appeal, if nothing else!
