Method

  • step 1

    Put some Martini glasses (or champagne flutes) into the freezer. Mix the clementine juice, vodka and Cointreau in a jug, then chill for 1 hr (or up to 1 day). Thinly slice the 2 clementines to use as a garnish.

  • step 2

    To serve, put a clementine slice into each frosty glass. Fill almost halfway with the chilled jug mixture, then open the bottle of fizz and top up the glasses.

question

How much juice is 6 clementines? As I might use ready squeezed juice for convenience to take to a party. Is it a 1:1:1 ratio juice:vodka: cointreau?

Hi, thanks for your question. A juicy clementine can yield about 2 tbsp (30ml) juice. As it varies we'd say that 150ml would be about right (although you can adjust according to taste). Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

This is the perfect winter cocktail. They are easy to prepare, very quick to serve to a large amount of people, utterly delicious and classy.

I should add that it's called 'Old Card Table' as when you've had 3, your legs give way and collapse … invented onboard the Leander class Royal Navy frigate called HMS Achilles

Quite delicious - although I'd reduce the amount of Cointreau. I've made a similar cocktail for decades (called 'Old Card Table') which uses fresh orange juice (without bits) instead - 30ml vodka, 20ml Cointreau, 75 ml each orange juice and sparkling wine (and scale up as required) - but a Martini…

Fun and easy to do as well as tasty and refreshing. Lovely way to use up clementines if you have succumbed to how pretty they look and bought a boxful. Beware though - quite strong on the alcohol content!
