Hangar 1 Mandarin Blossom is an orange-flavoured vodka from Hangar 1 in California, bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Mandarin orange blossoms are incredibly fragrant, with a delicate intensity that suggests the experience of peeling a fresh mandarin.
Hangar 1 fell in love with the aroma of California's mandarin trees, but when they tried distilling the fruit, the acids in the juice wouldn't cooperate; after late nights tinkering in the hangar, they tried the flowers instead.
Because the blossoms are picked only at the height of bloom, every batch is a race against time and the elements.
The result is a beautiful, aromatic vodka, bright, clean and packed with citrus, with notes of honey, rosewater and satsuma.

How to Enjoy It
Hangar 1 Mandarin Blossom shines in bright, floral cocktails: mix it with soda water and an orange twist, shake a Cosmopolitan or Lemon Drop, or top it with sparkling wine for a citrus spritz. It makes a fragrant Screwdriver with fresh orange juice and an elegant Martini with a dash of orange bitters. For brunch, top a splash with chilled prosecco and fresh orange juice for an aromatic mimosa. Pair it with sushi, citrus salads, scallops and almond cake. Hangar 1 makes its craft vodkas in California, and this floral, fruit-forward expression is a lovely way to bring a little sunshine to any cocktail or celebration. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
