Description:
The Tangerine Twilight Sizzle is a delightful blend of warmth and effervescence, perfect for late evenings when the hues of the twilight sky inspire a cozy yet refreshing beverage. This drink harmonizes the deep notes of whiskey with the sweet, almond-like flavor of amaretto, uplifted by the citrusy zest of tangerine and lemon, and balanced with the effervescent sparkle of Pepsi and sparkling water.

Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz whiskey (a smooth, mild blend works best)
- 0.5 oz amaretto liqueur
- 2 oz Pepsi
- 2 oz sparkling water
- Juice of half a tangerine
- Juice of one-quarter lemon
- Ice cubes
- Tangerine slice, for garnish
- Lemon twist, for garnish
- Red wine float (optional, for a complex twist)

Glass:
Serve in a highball glass.

Instructions:
1. In a shaker, combine the whiskey, amaretto liqueur, tangerine juice, and lemon juice with a handful of ice cubes.
2. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and blend the flavors.
3. Fill the highball glass halfway with ice cubes.
4. Strain the contents of the shaker over the ice in the glass.
5. Slowly pour in the Pepsi and sparkling water to maintain their carbonation and create layers.
6. If opting for a red wine float, gently pour a thin layer of red wine over the back of a spoon to rest on top of the drink, adding a complex note and visually appealing gradient.
7. Garnish with a fresh slice of tangerine and a lemon twist.
8. Stir gently before sipping to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors as they meld together.
