Clementine Whiskey Sour
- 1 2/3 fl oz Bushmills Original

Steps
Clementine Syrup
- Add the clementines in syrup to a blender. Blend on high power, getting the pulp as fine as possible.
- Using a muslin cloth or cheesecloth, strain the syrup into a jug catching all of the pulp in the cloth and keeping the liquid only. You should end up with about 8 fl oz of juice.
- Add this juice to a small pan along with the sugar. Heat on a low heat, stirring to help dissolve the sugar, about 3 minutes.
- Store the syrup in a heatproof jug and allow to cool before use.
- If you are working with juice to start, add this juice to a small pan along with the sugar. Heat on a low heat, stirring to help dissolve the sugar, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool before use and store the syrup in a heatproof jug.
