CLEMENTINE COSMOS



Clementine Cosmos image

I was watching a Claire Robinson holiday show; she does the "5 Ingredients or Less" show on the food channel. I had just purchased a crate of clementines at the store that day and happened to stumble on this episode where she mentioned the crates of clementines available during the holidays. I never associated them with the holidays before and now I'm so glad I know since I come across a lot of clementine recipes on 'Zaar and haven't always been able to find them. In case you're counting, this does have 5 ingredients if you ignore the water and garnish! Happy holidays! Cheers!

1 cup sugar
1 cup water

Categories     beverage

Time 5m

Yield 2 drinks

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 limes, 1 juiced and 1/2 for the glass rims
Fine sea salt
3 shots any good blanco tequila, such as Patron Silver
1 shot Cointreau
1 shot triple sec
2 clementines, juiced
Ice cubes

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.
