The Classy Clementine Cocktail

March 7, 2014 by Brett Youmans 4 Comments

Classy Clementine Cocktail I had some rosemary left over from my first post this week so I thought it would be special to create a cocktail just for you as a thank you for joining me in this new adventure.  I call it the Classy Clementine.

Did you know that clementines came to exist because of accidental hybridization?  That’s one story but all I know is I love them!  Maybe the reason I like them so much is because they are available for such a short period of time.  And like so many things I grow in the garden, a short season leaves me longing for more.  So drink up — these little jewels won’t be around much longer!

Are you familiar with elderflower liqueur?  It’s made from, well, elderflowers that are collected during a short blooming period in the spring.  According to the Saint Germain company, the hand-picked flowers are bicycled to a collection depot where they are immediately macerated to preserve the fresh flavors of the bloom. Extracting the flavors of this flower is not an easy process, and the company keeps their process and recipe a family secret.

There are so many things to love about this seasonal beverage from the beautiful color of the clementine and fragrant rosemary to the alluring taste of elderflower liqueur.  I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it just for you!

Thank you so much for joining me this week and for liking, sharing, pinning, and tweeting!

    I love the combination of clementines and elderflower liqueur! I used it before in a margarita variation.

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
