Tangerine Dancer
The Tangerine Dancer cocktail from Ty Lounge at The Biltmore blends fresh tangerine juice, vanilla vodka, and warm spices. A sophisticated sip that’s perfect for fall, with a nod to Santa Barbara’s local flavors and seasonal bounty.
Equipment
- Coupe glasses
Ingredients
- 4 ounces Bainbridge Organic Vanilla Vodka
- ½ ounce orgeat syrup
- 1 ounce vanilla simple syrup, recipe below
- 3 ounces tangerine juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 dashes whipped cream , about 1 tablespoon (or substitute heavy whipping cream)
- 1 dash Peychaud’s bitters, per drink
- 1 dash Angostura bitters, per drink
- 2 clove-dusted tangerine slices
- 2 cloves, whole (per drink, optional)
Vanilla Simple Syrup
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract, pure
Instructions
- Build vodka, orgeat, simple syrup, juice and whipped or whipping cream in cocktail shaker over ice. (Yes, making whipped cream adds another pre-step to this cocktail, unless you have some around for dessert. So heavy whipping cream can work, but the cocktail won’t be quite as rich.) Shake and strain evenly into two coupe glasses. Finish each drink with a dash of both bitters. Float a clove-dusted tangerine slice and a whole clove as aromatic garnish for each cocktail.
For the Vanilla Simple Syrup
- Bring sugar and water to a boil over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool. Stir in vanilla extract and store in refrigerator. Simple syrup can keep for up to four weeks, and feel free to use it for other purposes. Soon you will be making simple syrups of all flavors (Jennifer likes making a black pepper simple syrup).
