Friday selection of New Year’s cocktails with tangerines

A week, just a week. The mood is pre-holiday, complete carelessness and overflowing with hopes for the best. Yes, the New Year is good, and all good things should be on the level. Still, I carved out some of my free time and decided to please you with another selection, this time a festive one, one might even say – NEW YEAR’S!

And what can remind you of the New Year from cooking? Of course, tangerines, of course, you can still recreate the smell of a Christmas tree in a glass, but you don’t need to fantasize much for this: a bottle of gin and the spirit of the holiday is already on the table. You can even check out our selection of gin cocktails. But with tangerines, you can fantasize more thoroughly. Well, actually, let’s fantasize.
