My Funny Clementine

I always buy a big box of clementine oranges this time of year because I see them at the grocery store.  My kids (and hubby) only get excited for the first clementines and the rest sit uneaten.  So I was looking at these sad "unloved" little clementines and decided to make a Valentine's drink out of them.  I will provide 2 adult (alcohol) versions and one kid friendly version. Hope all the clementines in the world get some Valentine love.   Cheers!

Ingredients Alcohol Version 1:
4-5 clementines peeled and juiced (makes about 4 oz of juice)
2 oz vodka (or more if you want it stronger)

1 oz Cointreau or other orange liqueur

juice of half a lemon

Directions:

Muddle or blend peeled clementines until it juices.  Strain away all the pulp and pieces until you have a smooth clementine juice.  Then add all other ingredients and shake or stir together with ice.  Pour into martini glasses and serve.  Enjoy.
