The term tardivo indicates that its production occurs later than that of other citrus fruits of the same genus and owes its name to the hamlet of Palermo precisely Ciaculli, where it is grown. This variety of mandarin has been included among the Slow Food presidia, possesses a strong aroma and has a very thin skin.

Add more crushed ice to fill the cup to the top. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve with a straw. 6.
