The Saint Clement's is a non-alcoholic cocktail. Though the ingredients may vary, it always consists of orange juice mixed with a lemon-flavored drink, usually in equal proportions; the name of the drink refers to the English nursery rhyme Oranges and Lemons. The drink is therefore named (indirectly) after either St Clement Eastcheap or St Clement Danes, both churches in London. The traditional recipe calls for equal parts orange juice and lemon juice served over ice in a highball glass. There are many variations, in which the lemon juice is replaced with a sweeter drink (like lemonade), or even a carbonated citrus-flavored soft drink (like Sprite, 7-Up, or Fanta Lemon).
