Oprah Invented A Cocktail You'll Want To Drink All Summer

With tangerine trees flourishing in her California yard, Oprah once found herself with a bounty of tangerines and not enough recipes on hand to make the most of this lush fruit -- so she created her own. Always a fan of tequila, the media mogul concocted her own version of a tangerine margarita, creating a bright and refreshing drink you'll want to sip all summer.

3/4 to 1 c. ice

Mix of colored salt and sugar, for rim

Floating mint lead, for garnish

Tangerine wedge, for garnish

Directions

Combine tangerine juice, tequila, triple sec and ice in a blender. Blend on the highest setting until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
