Description:
Saint Clements is a very simple citrus alcohol-free highball: orange juice is combined with chilled bitter lemon, which adds bubbles and a dry lemon bitterness. The name refers to the English nursery rhyme about the bells of St Clement’s, with its repeated line about oranges and lemons. That makes the orange-and-lemon combination part of the drink’s identity rather than an arbitrary pairing. This is not a cocktail with a heavily documented history, but a clear bar formula for a light citrus drink without alcohol.
