Christmas Sparkler Cocktail

 
Christmas Sparkler
The holidays are hard to imagine without little mandarin oranges. More acidic tangerines (a type of mandarin) are pretty great in cocktails—I find their flavour somewhat more concentrated too. Beautiful Minneolas, a tangerine hybrid, begin to show up at grocers the same time of year and can be used here, too.
Directions:
Pour 1 oz Grand Marnier into a coupe or flute. 
Add 1 oz strained and chilled tangerine juice,  
Top with chilled non-vintage Champagne or cava. 
Garnish with a little tangerine wheel.
Makes 1 cocktail
