Next, using a small star-shaped pastry cutter, cut a few bits of star confetti from the flattened peel of a tangerine. Run a wedge of tangerine around the rim of your cocktail glass and roll the rim in the sugar mixture to coat. Spread sugar mixture in a thin layer on a small plate.
Add the zest and 1 tablespoon of coarse, granulated sugar to a food processor and pulse to combine. Start by zesting the peel of about half a tangerine, approximately 1 tablespoon’s worth.
a few pieces star-shaped tangerine peel confetti. 1 oz Sparkling Ice Essence of Tangerine. Let's make a Sparkling Tangerine Gin Fizz! Flirt with the flavor of Sparkling Ice Essence Of? YES. Essence of Tangerine was calling my name, and I knew immediately I wanted to use that flirt of flavor for a tangerine-based spin on the traditional Ramos Gin Fizz cocktail. Even better? They have zero calories and no artificial flavors or colors. The fun flirtiness of these waters perfectly mirrors my outside-the-box happy hour attitude. With just a hint of flavor and the perfect amount of fizz, they make for a completely refreshing ingredient. So I was beyond excited to stumble across Sparkling Ice’s Essence Of line of sparkling waters. Although I really should try that. So I am always on the lookout for interesting, healthy additions to my recipes things that will complement the freshness without detracting from it with lots of flashy fake colors and flavors. While I try to grow as many cocktail ingredients as possible in my garden, the reality is that I can't actually grow every single ingredient. It’s definitely different, and that’s what I love about it. And given the choice, I’d spend all my cocktail hours under the party lights in my little garden, fresh cocktail in hand, flock of judgey, garnish-stealing chickens underfoot. But I relish the look on peoples’ faces when I try to explain it to them (for a visual reference, ‘the look’ is usually something along the lines of the chicken’s face in the previous photo). I realize that drinking with chickens is a rather… unique pastime. It's actually kind of a problem when you're just trying to enjoy a quiet happy hour in the garden and they are hunting your cocktail ingredients with the precisely choreographed teamwork of a pack of Velociraptors. And you know who else happen to love sparkly things? Chickens.
