Tangerine Martinis – Recipe!

The Golden Globes start in just over an hour and what better way to enjoy the show, than with a Tangerine Martini in hand.  Jimmy Fallon is the host this year, so there should be a lot of laughter and great views of the fabulous gowns parading on stage.  I just love a good awards show, especially from the comfort of my couch, so quick….whip up a batch of these cocktails and enjoy the show!

Ingredients

2 tangerines

1 teaspoon agave nectar

1 ounce Cointreau

To Prepare:

1.  In a martini shaker, add one peeled tangerine and agave nectar.  Pour in the Cointreau and vodka.
