I love making this cocktail every spring when the pixie tangerines are in season. But it's great with clementines too. If I’m using pixie tangerines I’ll use 4 since they’re really small. Sometimes I'll use Grand Marnier instead of the triple sec and add a dash of cardamom bitters to make it extra special. FYI 1 tablespoon = 0.5 ounce. So it’s 3 oz bourbon, 1 oz triple sec, 0.5 ounce lemon juice (about 1/4 of a lemon)
