The St. Clement's 75 is a Christmas cocktail that was created by Emma Stokes and was first published in her book Have Yourself a Merry Little Cocktail: 80 Cheerful Tipples to Warm Up Winter. It's a simple holiday-inspired variation of the French 75 that's made with the classic's sparkling wine, gin, and lemon template. However, its special ingredient is a homemade spiced orange syrup, which is where the drink's name comes from. It's a nod to the English nursery rhyme "Oranges & Lemons."
Add gin, lemon juice, and spiced orange syrup to a shaker.
Fill shaker with cubed ice.
Shake for 10-20 seconds.
Using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer, strain into a coupe glass.
Top with sparkling wine.
Garnish with star anise.
