Clementine is a hybrid between a mandarin orange and a sweet orange. Very fragrant and sweet. For today’s recipe I used San Pellegrino Clementina sparkling beverage and Grand Marnier liqueur.
First, prepare the clementine simple syrup. Combine the agave, water, and clementine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, breaking apart the clementine.
For a keto-friendly version of this margarita, just substitute the agave for a zero-syrup of your preference.
Then prepare the segments for garnishing your Margarita’s, skinless wedges of citrus fruit (Just like those canned mandarin orange pieces, only fresh).
Decorate your glasses with a rim of Himalayan pink salt to give a little kick to your Margarita’s.
Ingredients
- Clementine’s simple syrup
- 1/2 cup agave
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup clementine about 3
- 8 ounces Grand Marnier liqueur
- 8 ounces good-quality tequila
- 4 ounces San Pellegrino Clementina sparkling beverage
- 1/2 cup clementine’s simple syrup
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- Garnish: clementine segments and Himalayan pink salt rimmed glasses
Instructions
- Combine the agave, water and clementine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes, breaking apart the clementine. Strain the syrup through a mesh strainer into a bowl and set aside. Chill until you are ready to use.
- To a cocktail shaker, add the clementine simple syrup, lime juice, San Pellegrino Clementina sparkling beverage, Grand Marnier and tequila. Shake vigorously and then pour into salt rimmed glasses filled with ice.
- Enjoy!
