Review

Delicate, fragrant fruity notes from freshly squeezed tangerine/mandarin juice freshen this version of the classic Bronx. My recipe for both versions of the Bronx are the same, it's just the use of tangerine/mandarin/clementine orange juice that denotes this "Improved".

A great anytime cocktail. Since I associate mandarins and tangerines with the holidays, it is perfect for a winter cocktail. You still have the herbal from the gin, but tempered with the fruit juice. Excellent.

Completely agree with you.

This is lovely! The balance between the spirits and the juice is just right and the flavours are surprisingly complex and not at all "tropical" or fruity. I have a tangerine tree producing fruit right now so I will definitely be making this again (and again)!
