Learned from my mom, this easy-to-make drink mixes the flavor of Dominican rum and the sweetness of mandarins. As a reader commented once: “This is a very cool way to have your rum without a frown. A lady’s drink…”
Licor de mandarina (Mandarin liqueur)
This drink is a fantastic choice as a digestif for the Christmas dinner, when mandarins are in season.
Take into consideration that the preparation time does not include the 5 days for marinating.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of rum
- 1/2 cup mandarin peels
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of water
Instructions
- Get rid of as much as the white coating inside the peel.
- Mix the rum and the mandarin peels.
- Put in a jar and leave in the refrigerator for 5 days.
- Strain the rum with a clean cloth, reserve.
- Mix the water and the sugar and boil over low heat until only a third of the liquid is left.
- Cool down to room temperature.
- Mix the syrup with the rum.
- Chill before serving.
