Ingredients
- ½ cup mandarin peels
- 2 cup golden rum
- 1 cup sugar (white, granulated)
Instructions
1. Steeping
- Scraping with a spoon or knife, remove the white part of the inner side of the mandarin orange peel. This prevents the liqueur from tasting bitter, and gives it a better color in the end.

2. Mixing
- Mix rum and mandarin orange peels in a clean jar. Place in a covered jar in the refrigerator for about five days.
3. Boiling
- Mix 1 cup of water, sugar, and a small piece of one of the rinds from the rum and boil over low heat until half of the water evaporates. Let the syrup cool.
4. Straining
- Strain the rum using a clean piece of cloth or fine mesh strainer and discard the rinds. Mix the syrup with the rum.
5. Serving
- Serve chilled
Notes
- The preparation time does not include the 5 days for steeping.
