Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Fresh tangerines
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 ounces White rum
- 4 ounces Club soda
- 1 cup Crushed ice

Instructions
Peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. Remove any seeds if necessary.
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the tangerine segments, mint leaves, and sugar.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle the mixture to release the juices and blend the flavors. Avoid over-muddling as it can make the mint taste bitter.
Add the fresh lime juice and white rum to the muddled mixture.
Fill the glass or shaker with crushed ice and gently stir or shake to combine.
Strain the mixture into a serving glass filled with fresh crushed ice.
Top off with club soda and give it a gentle stir to mix.
Garnish with a couple of tangerine slices and a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Tangerine Mojito!
