My aunt came to my house with a crate of clementines in tow last week and as much as I love clementines, I just couldn’t eat them all. So, I found this recipe for a Clementine Cosmo and thought I’d give it a try. I’m a pretty big orange fan so I figured this cocktail would be to my liking. Clementine juice is mixed with vodka, triple sec, and a spit of lime juice and shaken with ice. This is definitely a stiff cocktail that is meant to be sipped and enjoyed slowly. I sipped on mine last Sunday while I watched some terrible football and put up my Christmas tree. I’m officially into the holiday spirit! Clementines, as well as blood oranges, satsuma oranges, tangerines, and other oranges, are coming into season so take advantage of them! So what if you get one of your daily fruit servings from a cocktail? I won’t judge. 😉

I am glad to see there is not any sugar in the drink just the natural sweetness of the oranges- sounds delightful.
