Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 2 ounces Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 ounces Freshly squeezed tangerine juice
- 2 ounces Bourbon
- 1 cup Crushed ice
- 1 slice Orange slice
- 1 wedge Tangerine wedge

Instructions
In a sturdy glass or julep cup, gently muddle the mint leaves together with the granulated sugar using a muddler or the back of a spoon. This releases the mint's natural oils and blends it with the sugar.
Add the freshly squeezed orange juice, tangerine juice, and bourbon to the glass.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving a small amount of room at the top.
Stir the mixture gently using a bar spoon to combine and chill the ingredients.
Garnish the julep with an orange slice, a tangerine wedge, and a sprig of fresh mint for a vibrant presentation.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your Orange Tangerine Mint Julep!
