The Saint Clement’s cocktail is a refreshing, non-alcoholic beverage that offers a delightful combination of citrus flavors. This drink is named after the traditional nursery rhyme, "Oranges and Lemons," which refers to the church bells of St.
Clement's in London, where citrus fruits were historically unloaded. Consisting of orange juice and lemon-lime soda, it provides a sweet and tangy taste profile, with the effervescence of the soda adding a pleasant fizz.
Typically served in a highball glass, the Saint Clement's cocktail is often garnished with a lime wedge, adding a decorative and aromatic touch to this cool and bubbly drink. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a non-intoxicating refreshment that doesn't sacrifice flavor.

FAQ's
What is the origin of the name Saint Clement's for the cocktail?
The name 'Saint Clement’s' is inspired by the traditional nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons' which mentions several churches, including St Clement's, that historically were in the vicinity of citrus markets in London. The cocktail's use of orange juice pays homage to this association.
Can I make Saint Clement’s an alcoholic drink if I want to?

What kind of orange juice is best used for Saint Clement’s?
For the best flavor in Saint Clement’s, it’s recommended to use freshly squeezed orange juice. This ensures a refreshing, natural taste without the added sugars or preservatives found in some store-bought orange juices.

If the Saint Clement’s cocktail is too sweet for your liking, you can reduce the sweetness by adding a bit more lemon-lime soda for a lighter flavor or by incorporating a splash of fresh lemon juice for added tartness.
