Tangerine juice is a new citrus beverage, more spicy in twang than the juice of the orange. It has a taste on the tongue of the tangerine's own pungent perfume of that vaporous oil release from the peel. Newest brand is “Premier,”the eighteen-ounce tin holding the juice of approximately fifteen tree- ripened tangerines, enough for four breakfast servings. The price in New York City shops is around 29 cents, seen at the Seven Parks Market, 107 East 34th Street, Mansbach Market, 1372 Sixth Avenue, Kensington Delicatessen, 162 Seventh Avenue, Regent Foo Shop, 1174 Lexington Avenue, an other delicacy shops.
During the past year we have foun occasional small stocks of this juice, the total pack running some half million cases as compared to the 65 million- case citrus juice production for 1946. This year with the tangerine crop a record-breaker, a larger juice pack is promised. The juice is to be considered as a specialty, its price well over that of the juice of the grapefruit or orange. But it's a fussy job in extraction—ever try it by hand?
