Description

A refreshing, seasonal citrus drink that combines the sweetness of mandarins with a spicy note of fresh ginger, topped with a delicate, honeyed foam made from egg white. This is a light, eye-catching beverage with a vibrant orange color and fluffy white foam that contrasts both visually and in flavor — sweet and sour with a gentle warmth from the ginger. Perfect as a quick on-the-go breakfast, a welcome drink for a gathering with friends, or as a healthy alternative to a dessert cocktail. Serve in clear highball glasses or cocktail glasses, garnished with a mint leaf or a thin slice of mandarin on the rim of the glass.

Preparation steps

Juice preparation

1

Wash the mandarins under cold running water with a brush to remove any impurities. Cut each mandarin in half and squeeze the juice manually using a citrus juicer over a bowl (minimum capacity 500 ml). If you have a juicer or blender, peel the fruits and blend the pulp, then strain through a fine sieve to obtain clear juice. You should get about 300–350 ml of juice from 400 g of mandarins — the juice should be bright, intensely orange, and fragrant.

Ingredients: Mandarin
Use a manual citrus juicer or an electric one; a glass bowl will be flavor-neutral. If the juice is too sweet, add more lemon juice (5–10 ml at a time). Don't throw away the pulp — it can be used for muffins.

Preparation of ginger concentrate

2

Peel a piece of fresh ginger (20 g) using a teaspoon (scraper) — scrape off the skin instead of using a knife to retain as much flavor as possible. Grate the ginger on a fine grater or chop it very finely. Place the grated ginger in a small bowl, add lemon juice (30 ml) and 5 g of honey (from the total amount of honey) and mash with a spoon until a thick, aromatic concentrate forms. The concentrate should have a strong, spicy aroma — if you find the ginger too weak, you can add another 5–10 g of grated root to taste.

Ingredients: Fresh ginger, Lemon juice, Honey
Use a fine grater or a sharp knife; grating will extract more juice and flavor. If you don't like intense spiciness, use 10 g of ginger instead of 20 g.

Preparation of honey foam

3

In a small, deep bowl or blender cup, pour in the egg white (60 g). Add the remaining honey (25 g) and a pinch of lemon juice (5 ml from the remaining juice) — the acid will help stabilize the foam. Whisk the egg white with the honey using a manual whisk for about 1–2 minutes until it starts to foam, then use a hand mixer or immersion blender on medium speed and whip for another 2–3 minutes until the foam becomes thick, shiny, and holds its shape (the foam should not slide out when the bowl is turned upside down). The foam should have the consistency of creamy yogurt and hold soft "peaks."

Ingredients: Egg white, Honey, Lemon juice, Aquafaba (optional, instead of egg white)
Use a hand mixer or an immersion blender with a whisk attachment; a cool metal or glass bowl is best. If you're concerned about raw egg whites, use pasteurized egg whites or aquafaba (60 g) — then whip the aquafaba with honey for about 3–4 minutes until frothy. Note: aquafaba takes longer to whip than egg whites.

Mixing the drink

4

In a large pitcher or shaker, pour in the prepared mandarin juice (from step 1), add the prepared ginger concentrate (the entire mixture from step 2), and sparkling water (200 ml). Add ice cubes (200 g). Gently stir with a bar spoon or shake the shaker 3–4 times — the goal is to chill and lightly mix the ingredients without losing too many bubbles. Taste the drink and if necessary, season with an additional teaspoon of honey or a drop of lemon juice.

Ingredients: Mandarin, Fresh ginger, Sparkling water, Ice, Lemon juice
Use a shaker or a large measuring cup (jigger). If you want a stronger fizz, add more sparkling water when serving. Do not mix too vigorously, as you will lose the fizz.

Serving and decoration

5

Pour the cocktail evenly into two transparent glasses with ice. Gently spoon the honey foam on top of each glass (about 30 g of foam per serving) — keep the spoon close to the surface of the drink and gently lower it until the foam settles on the surface. The foam should hold its shape and look like a fluffy cloud. Garnish with a mint leaf on the foam or a thin slice of tangerine on the rim of the glass.

Ingredients: Ice, Honey, Fresh mint (bunch)
Use clear, tall glasses (highball) for a nice visual effect. If the foam doesn't hold its shape, it was too runny — whip it longer; if it collapses immediately, try adding a bit more honey for stabilization.

Safety tips

6

If you are using raw egg whites, make sure the eggs are fresh and come from a trusted source; you can use pasteurized egg whites from a carton or aquafaba as an alternative. Drink immediately after preparation — the foam and froth are best within the first 10–15 minutes.

Ingredients: Egg white, Aquafaba (optional, instead of egg white)
For households at increased risk (children, elderly, pregnant women), it is recommended to use pasteurized egg whites or aquafaba instead of raw egg whites.

Fun Fact

💡

Mandarins are closely related to oranges, but they usually have a more delicate skin and are easier to peel — which is why they have traditionally been given as a symbol of happiness and wealth in Eastern cultures.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve in tall, clear glasses to highlight the contrast between the orange juice and the white foam. Provide a small spoon for scooping the foam and a straw for sipping from beneath the foam. For a more elegant effect, use thin slices of tangerine with a notch on the edge of the glass.

🥡 Storage

The drink is best consumed immediately — after 30 minutes it loses its fizz and the foam settles. If you need to store the tangerine juice, seal it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Whipped egg whites should not be stored for more than a few hours in the fridge; it's better to whip the foam just before serving.
