FEATURE: Cocktail Of The Week - Tangier Tangerine

Tangier Tangerine

The tangerine gets its name from the Moroccan city of Tangier, the port from which the fruit was originally shipped to Europe hundreds of years ago. Facing Spain from across the Gibraltar, the city is literally Europe's gateway to Northern Africa and all its exotic mystery. No wonder Tangier has been attracting people with a passion for culture for decades–from writers and artists like the Beats and Henry Matisse, to high-rollers like publishing don Malcolm Forbes. The tangerine is equally appealing, at once poetic, sensual, and elegant, all qualities brought out in perfect harmony when combined with a pure, smooth-bodied vodka like Russian Standard in this semi-tart, semi-sweet, and entirely intriguing cocktail.

• 60ml / 2 fl oz Fresh squeezed tangerine juice
