The Saint Clement&#8217;s drink, a non-alcohlic cocktail, therefore takes its origin from the first verse of this rhyme, using lemons and oranges as its key ingredients. This cocktail can be easily concocted and served as a drink to chill out in all occassions and at parties.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Orange juice: from 4 oranges, with slices reserved for serving.<\/li>\n<li>Lemon juice: from 2 lemons<\/li>\n<li>Soda water: 600ml (2 cans)<\/li>\n<li>Mint: 2 sprigs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Combine orange juice, lemon juice and soda water together.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in mint stalks or use the mint sprigs to stir the drink.<\/li>\n<li>Leave in fridge to chill for 2 hrs before serving.<\/li>\n<li>Serve with orange slices and mint sprigs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This drink is usually concocted with equal parts of orange and lemon juices.
