Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Tbsp coarse sugar
- 1 tangerine or clementine
- 3 sprigs rosemary
- 2 oz. rum
- Crushed ice
Instructions
- Place 1 1/2 Tbsp coarse sugar in a small bowl.
- Slice the tangerine in half and dip the cut side into the sugar.
- Place the tangerine cut-side down in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 sprigs of rosemary in the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the sugar on the tangerine caramelizes. Remove from heat.
- Discard the rosemary. Let the tangerine cool a bit and then cut each half into quarters.
- Put the tangerine and 1 tsp remaining sugar in a cocktail shaker. Muddle to release as much juice as possible from the tangerine. Add 2 oz. rum and crushed ice to the shaker.
- Shake well and pour into an ice-filled glass. Garnish with additional rosemary.
