4.56 / 5
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.
