Spicy Winter Citrus Refresher

Spicy Winter Citrus Refresher

Holiday 2022

By: Marcella DiLonardo

It’s not often you see clementines in a cocktail, but is it really the holiday season without this must-have winter citrus? This mocktail has the unexpected addition of spice from the jalapeño-infused simple syrup and makes for a wonderful addition to a holiday brunch, too.

Makes 1 drink; 1/2 cup (125 mL) simple syrup

JALAPEÑO SIMPLE SYRUP
1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) water
1 small jalapeño, seeded and sliced
 
MOCKTAIL
1 oz jalapeño simple syrup
2 oz clementine juice, freshly squeezed
1 oz orange juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 oz lime juice, freshly squeezed
2 oz club soda
Lime wheel to garnish
Clementine wedge to garnish
Sliced jalapeño to garnish

 

1. For the simple syrup, in a saucepan over medium heat, stir together sugar, water and jalapeño. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. Let stand 15 minutes at room temperature before straining. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 week.
 
2. Fill a glass with ice. Add the simple syrup, clementine juice, orange juice and lime juice. Stir to combine. Top with soda. Garnish with lime, clementine and jalapeño.
