I make ratafia from wonderful ripe tangerines. This video was accidentally removed from the channel, so I'm bringing it back.
From experience, this ratafia requires much more time to rest. In my case, it took at least a year. With less rest, the drink has stronger perfume notes.
In total, I used 16 kg of unpeeled tangerines in the video, which yielded 12.7 kg of peeled tangerines. I poured 6.35 liters of 96.6% alcohol into these. Ideally, fruit alcohol (especially if its strength is lower than stated), but any alcohol (sugar, grain) is not critical for this type of peeling.
