Ingredients
16 clementines
1L Asda Triple Distilled Vodka
250g caster sugar
Method
1
Carefully remove the zest from the clementines with a fine grater, making sure you don’t include any of the white pith.
2
Put the zest in a 1L sterilised jar and pour over the vodka. Set the jar aside in a cool, dark place for a week to allow the flavours of the clementine zest to infuse. Give the jar a shake from time to time, to ensure the flavour is evenly mixed throughout.
3
After a week, put the caster sugar in a pan with 250ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer for a couple of minutes until the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool.
4
Pour the clementine vodka through a very fine sieve or muslin cloth, then mix with the cooled sugar syrup. Pour the mixture into sterilised bottles and seal.
5
The clemencello is best served chilled, over ice, or topped up with sparkling mineral water.
