Combine Ingredients: Add the bourbon, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the glass. (1 minute)

03

Step

1 mins

Chill and Dilute: Add ice cubes to the glass, filling it to the top. (30 seconds)

04

Step

1 mins

Stir and Serve: Gently stir the mixture for 15-20 seconds to chill and slightly dilute the cocktail. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. (1 minute)

05

Step

1 mins

Garnish (Optional): Express the oils from a clementine peel over the glass, then use the peel as a garnish for an aromatic touch. (1 minute)

For a richer flavor, consider using an orange-infused simple syrup.
Adjust the simple syrup to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your clementines.
Use high-quality bourbon for the best results. A wheated bourbon or one with citrus notes complements the clementine flavor well.
Large format ice cubes melt slower, preventing your cocktail from becoming overly diluted.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace the bourbon with sparkling water or club soda.
