Using a large mouth bottle, or mason jar, place the tangerine skins and add the vodka. Close and let it infuse for 8 days, shaking it every day.

Remove the skins from the vodka. Boil the water and sugar for 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool.

Filter the vodka, using a coffee filter or fine cloth, add the sugar syrup, mixing well. Transfer to a bottle and let it sit for 3 to 4 weeks. The longer it sits the better it gets.
