Combine the gin or vodka, tangerine juice, honey syrup, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake hard for 10 to 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold on the outside.

Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.

Add orange bitters if using.

Twist a strip of tangerine peel over the glass to release the oils, then use as garnish.
