Mandarin conserve liqueur is a classic French liqueur that is made by combining fine alcohol with tangerines and sugar syrup. It has a bright citrus flavor that is perfect for sipping alone or adding to cocktails. It is typically enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or served at special occasions and gatherings. The liqueur is easy to make at home and requires only a few ingredients.

Instructions

1.	Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the tangerines and set aside.
2.	Juice the tangerines and strain the juice, discarding any pulp.
3.	In a large clean glass jar, combine the fine alcohol, tangerine juice, and tangerine zest.
4.	In a saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons of sugar, 150g of sugar, and 1 glass of water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
5.	Add the sugar syrup to the jar of alcohol and tangerine mixture and stir to combine.
6.	Place the jar in a cool, dark place and let it sit for one week, shaking it gently every day to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
7.	After one week, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the tangerine zest and any solids.
8.	Transfer the mandarin conserve liqueur to a clean bottle and add 1 glass of sherry wine. Stir to combine and serve chilled or at room temperature.
