Refresh your cocktail repertoire with the zesty and vibrant Orange Tangerine Mint Julep, a citrusy twist on the classic Southern favorite. This captivating beverage combines the bright flavors of freshly squeezed orange and tangerine juices with the rich warmth of bourbon, perfectly complemented by the burst of fresh mint. A touch of granulated sugar balances the tartness, while crushed ice chills the drink to perfection, making it an ideal choice for warm-weather sipping. Garnished with an orange slice, a tangerine wedge, and a sprig of mint, this julep dazzles in both flavor and presentation. Ready in just 10 minutes, it’s an easy yet sophisticated cocktail that’s perfect for outdoor gatherings, Derby Day celebrations, or a relaxing evening at home.
In a sturdy glass or julep cup, gently muddle the mint leaves together with the granulated sugar using a muddler or the back of a spoon. This releases the mint's natural oils and blends it with the sugar.
Add the freshly squeezed orange juice, tangerine juice, and bourbon to the glass.
Fill the glass with crushed ice, leaving a small amount of room at the top.
Stir the mixture gently using a bar spoon to combine and chill the ingredients.
Garnish the julep with an orange slice, a tangerine wedge, and a sprig of fresh mint for a vibrant presentation.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your Orange Tangerine Mint Julep!
