  • tablespoons lemon-lime juice 
  • tablespoons simple syrup glaze 
  • tbsp caster sugar 
  • tablespoon tangerine juice 

Equipment

    Directions

    1. Put sugar on a plate. Run a lemon or lime wedge around the rim of a martini glass to wet it, then twist rim in sugar.
    2. Put remaining ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake until cold, about 1 minute. Strain drink into prepared glass.
    3. Bar Essentials: Have these on hand for mixing great mocktails.
    4. Simple Syrup: Equal parts sugar and water, heated until the sugar dissolves. (Your yield will be the same as the amount of water you use.)
    5. Lemon-Lime Juice: Equal parts freshly squeezed lemon and lime juice, for adding acidity in a flash.
    6. Fresh Lemons, Limes, and Oranges: To make juice, wedges for squeezing or moistening the rim of a glass, or twists of zest for extra citrus aroma.
    7. Superfine Sugar: Dissolves easily and makes a nice garnish on the rim of a glass.
    8. Fresh Herbs: Basil, mint, and tarragon add complexity, texture, and visual appeal.
    9. Purchased Ice: For a big party, it's hard to make enough ice at home. Besides cooling, ice helps blend flavors in the shaker.
