While we love eating sweet clementines straight out of hand, the juice is so delectable that it begs to be used for something special—like a cocktail! Buck tradition and lace a classic Moscow mule with bright, fresh notes of the fruit's nectar. Bonus: Brush the leftover clove syrup on our Gingerbread Cake.

Ingredients

Method

In small saucepan, bring water, sugar and cloves to boil over medium-high heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; strain through fine-mesh sieve into bowl. Set aside.

Fill cocktail shaker half full with ice cubes. Add clementine juice, lime juice, vodka and 1 tsp of the clove syrup; shake vigorously until well chilled. 

Strain through fine-mesh sieve into glasses half-filled with crushed ice. Top with ginger beer; garnish with zest and mint. 

NOTES FROM THE TEST KITCHEN

Basil: Elevate brunch with thinly sliced fresh basil leaves in a fruit salad made with clementine segments and chunks of cantaloupe.

Chocolate: Dip half of each clementine segment in melted dark chocolate. Transfer to a parchment paper–lined tray; refrigerate until the chocolate is set. Wrap for a hostess gift or add the treats to a holiday dessert tray.

Brandy: Use strips of the fruit's zest for extra flavour in brandy-based after-dinner digestifs.
