Winter sun, the best cocktail for cold days

Winter has strongly come and 2018 has started very cold. If you listened to us and prepared the Sidecar cocktail in order to finish the year in the most elegant way, now we recommend the Winter Sun cocktail to warm the coldest nights.

We recommend a great plan for your nights with friends. Since we know that we don’t feel like leaving home because of the low temperatures, from Ice Tech we want to tell you how to prepare a good Winter Sun cocktail. We assure you that its citrus touch, based on mandarin and lemon, will raise your temperature and will provide the vitamins that you need for these days 🙂

Ingredients

• The juice of 2 mandarins (60 ml, 1/4 cup)
• The juice of half a lemon (15 ml)
• One part of triple dry (Cointreau) and three parts vodka (45 ml).
• You can also add some sugar in order to lower down the citrus flavour. We love that acid touch, but all the recipes can be made to in order to be personally prepared.
• GR Ice Tech ice (optional).

Preparation

• The first thing you have to do is to squeeze the mandarins and the lemon.
• Then, pour the juices in a shaker and add the vodka and triple dry. Ice in this cocktail is not mandatory, but as you already know us, you know that everything tastes better with Ice Tech ice :).
• Now it’s time to stir the whole mixture and serve it in a wide glass, in which you will have previously frosted some sugar.
• To finish, you can decorate it with rosemary. What a mix!

In order to flush the glass and to make the edge of the glass maintain the sugar and sweeten the cocktail, it is best to moisten the edge with a bit of mandarin juice and leave it upside down on a plate where we will have previously mixed a bit of sugar with lemon and mandarin zest.
