 2 large tangerines
 1 bottle (750 ml) gin
Step 1
1

Remove zest from tangerines with a vegetable peeler and save fruit for another use. Put zest in a 1-qt.* glass jar or decorative bottle. Pour in gin (through a funnel, if the bottle has a narrow opening).

Step 2
2

Close jar tightly and put in a cool, dark place for 1 week.

Step 3
3

Chill gin and serve cold; it will take on the color of the zest and will gradually intensify in flavor and get a little cloudy.

* You can use a smaller bottle, but the infusion will be stronger, so taste it occasionally and remove the zest when the liquor tastes the way you want.

Make ahead: Up to 3 months (1 year, strained), chilled.
