Preparation

Step 1

Preparation

Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over high heat, or on a grill grate. Pour some raw sugar into a small plate. Dip cut sides of tangerines into sugar. Scatter 8 rosemary sprigs in skillet; add tangerines, cut side down. Cook until sugar caramelizes, about 2 minutes. Let cool.

Quarter tangerines; discard rosemary. Place tangerines in a pitcher, add 2 Tbsp. raw sugar, and muddle to release juices. Add rum and 6 cups ice; stir until pitcher is frosty. Divide among glasses; garnish with remaining 8 rosemary sprigs.
