Tangerine Gin

Ingredients

• 2 large tangerines
• 1 bottle (750 ml) gin

Preparation

1. 1. Remove zest from tangerines with a vegetable peeler and save fruit for another use. Put zest in a 1-qt.* glass jar or decorative bottle. Pour in gin (through a funnel, if the bottle has a narrow opening).
2. 2. Close jar tightly and put in a cool, dark place for 1 week.
3. 3. Chill gin and serve cold; it will take on the color of the zest and will gradually intensify in flavor and get a little cloudy.
4. * You can use a smaller bottle, but the infusion will be stronger, so taste it occasionally and remove the zest when the liquor tastes the way you want.
5. Make ahead: Up to 3 months (1 year, strained), chilled.
