3. Strain into a chilled coupe.
4. Garnish with an expressed tangerine or orange twist.

Base spirit: White rum (40% ABV) | ABV: medium (approx 16-19%) | Glass: Coupe

2. Mocktail Version (Zero-Proof)

Swaps

3. Seltzer Version

Citrus Sunrise Seltzer (single 8 oz / 240 ml glass)

• 4 drops Brewch Tangerine
• 1 drop Brewch Blood Orange (accent)
• 8 oz / 240 ml cold sparkling water
• Garnish: Orange wheel

Method

1. Fill a glass with ice and add 8 oz cold sparkling water.
2. Add 4 drops Brewch Tangerine plus 1 drop Brewch Blood Orange, then stir gently.
3. Garnish and serve immediately.

Seltzer dosing: 3-5 drops primary per 8 oz glass; add accents 1 drop at a time.

4. Why It Works

Tangerine carries a sweet, fleshy, slightly soda-pop orange character with a little rind brightness - a juicier, friendlier citrus than lime for a daiquiri. The lime juice keeps the structure sharp while tangerine adds the sunny, fresh-squeezed top note.
