Clementine Cosmo Recipes

Steps:

• Chill 4 martini glasses by filling each with ice and cold water. Combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake vigorously. Empty the martini glasses of ice water and strain the mixture between the 4 glasses. Float a slice of clementine in each glass and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Chill 6-8 martini glasses by filling with ice and water. Set aside while you prepare the beverage.
• To make simple syrup, add sugar and water to medium saucepan. Juice the clementine quarters into the pan by squeezing them and then drop the spent rinds into the pan. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Strain into a glass measuring cup and set aside to cool.
• To make the cosmos, place the cooled clementine simple syrup into a cocktail pitcher. Add the cranberry juice, lime juice, and vanilla vodka. Cover the pitcher and shake vigorously to blend or stir vigorously. Pour into empty chilled martini glasses.
• Garnish with a slice of clementine and serve.

Steps:

• To salt the rims of two glasses, use the 1/2 lime to wipe around the rim of each glass. Pour out a generous 6-inch line of salt. Roll the outside rim of each glass along the salt line to lightly salt the outside rim of the glass (not the inside or it will make your cocktail too salty when you take the last sip).
• Pour the tequila, Cointreau, triple sec, clementine juice and lime juice into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice. Shake for 20 seconds until your hands get cold.
• Strain into the prepared glasses and drink responsibly.

Steps:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the vodka, passion fruit juice, syrup, and lime juice into the shaker. Cover and shake vigorously, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker mists up the drink is ready.) Strain cosmo into a chilled cocktail glass. Sprinkle with passion fruit seeds, if desired.

Steps:

• Put some Martini glasses (or champagne flutes) into the freezer. Mix the clementine juice, vodka and Cointreau in a jug, then chill for 1 hr (or up to 1 day). Thinly slice the 2 clementines to use as a garnish.
• To serve, put a clementine slice into each frosty glass. Fill almost halfway with the chilled jug mixture, then open the bottle of fizz and top up the glasses.
