Mandarins, tangerines and clementines

Chocolate & Mandarin Tartine

It can be difficult to tell the difference between mandarins, tangerines and clementines. They’re all related, interchangeable and easy to peel, with sweet and juicy segments.

HOLIDAY DAIQUIRI

Serving a Daiquiri in a tall glass with ice hearkens back to the drink’s invention. The juice from minneolas, a tart hybrid of grapefruit and mandarin, makes a great cocktail mixer. The cranberries guild the lily.

1 Combine 5 fresh or frozen cranberries and 1 tbsp (15 mL) superfine sugar in a cocktail shaker; muddle well. Add 2 oz minneola juice, 1 1/2 oz white rum and 1 oz lime juice. Top with 1 cup (250 mL) crushed ice; shake vigorously and pour into a tall glass rimmed with sugar. Garnish with a slice of minneola.
