Equipment

  • Champagne flutes
  • Juicer or citrus reamer
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Small bowl
  • Cocktail spoon
  • Cutting Board
  • Sharp knife

Ingredients

For each cocktail, you'll need:

  • 2 oz fresh clementine juice about 2-3 clementines
  • 4 oz chilled champagne or sparkling wine
  • 1 tsp sugar optional
  • Clementine slice for garnish

Use ripe clementines for the best flavor. Pick a dry champagne or sparkling wine you enjoy drinking on its own.

Instructions

  • Wash the clementines and cut them in half.
  • Juice the clementines using a juicer or citrus reamer.
  • Strain the juice through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl to remove pulp and seeds.
  • If using sugar, stir it into the juice until it dissolves.
  • Pour the clementine juice into a champagne flute.
  • Slowly add the chilled champagne or sparkling wine.
  • Gently stir with a cocktail spoon to mix.
  • Garnish with a thin slice of clementine on the rim of the glass.
  • Serve right away while the drink is cold and bubbly.

Notes

This recipe is easy to scale up for parties. You can make a big batch of clementine juice ahead of time and keep it chilled.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the champagne with sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
Try other citrus fruits like blood oranges or tangerines for different flavors.
Adjust the sugar to your taste. Some people prefer it without any added sweetness.
Make sure all ingredients are well-chilled before mixing for the best results.
