About the recipe
Super-simple, fast and easy, this is a cocktail you can knock up over Christmas using vodka, the spirit you guys have told me that you all have at home.
Ingredients
50ml quality vodka
1 clementine or ½ a pomegranate
soda water
optional: 1 cinnamon stick
Top Tip
To make your cocktails even more festive, use Jools’ favourite ice cube trick. Simply pop a few fresh berries, strips of citrus peel or little herb sprigs into your ice cube tray before filling it with water and freezing. It’s incredibly simple and it’ll give you really pretty ice cubes to wow and surprise your guests with.
Method
- Place a handful of ice cubes into a glass and pour over the vodka.
- Squeeze in the clementine juice (if you’re being really considered you can measure it – you want 50ml to match the vodka), or squeeze in 50ml of fresh pomegranate juice (any seeds that tumble in will only add character, just make sure you pick out any white pithy bits).
- Top up the glass with soda water, give it a gentle stir – using a cinnamon stick if you’ve got one – and there you go! If you’re making these for a crowd, squeeze your clementine or pomegranate juice in advance into a jug ready to measure out when your guests arrive.
