Last Minute Entertaining With A Tangerine Mojito #MixedWithTrop

For your next Girls Night In, shake up this delicious Tangerine Mojito for a citrusy twist on the classic mojito.

Last minute entertaining always seems to happen around the holidays. Whether it’s friends dropping by to catch the game, a last minute Girls Night In or just because, I’ve learned to keep a few things on hand to make my cocktail game easier.

I often keep lemonade in the fridge to mix into cocktails and mocktails and love to try various flavor fusions. Recently, I discovered this new Tropicana Tangerine Lemonade and couldn’t resist giving it a try. I have a love of tangerines, especially with all of the wonderful seasonal citrus coming into the stores, and have been adding them to a few recipes but never thought to mix tangerines with lemonade. I knew I had to shake up a cocktail or two with this lovely sip.

To bring a little Florida sunshine to combat the Philly chill, I had the perfect cocktail for a recent soiree – a Tangerine Mojito. I adore mojitos ever since I tried my first mojito years ago in Miami. However, in lieu of using the classic lime/mint combo, I wanted to go on a tangerine/lemon flavor profile and it was genius. A few ingredients, a bit of muddling and you have a citrusy bright mojito that will have your guests raving. This drink couldn’t be easier to shake up and the lovely orange color is so festive!

To make this easy Tangerine Mojito a mocktail, feel free to leave out the rum and add a bit more seltzer or club soda – the tangerine and lemon flavor are the perfect compliment and you will never miss the rum – trust me on this.
