Saint Clement’s

Saint Clement's is a British non-alcoholic drink made by combining orange juice with bitter lemon, and its name is a reference to the English nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons," which begins with the line naming the bells of St. Clement's. Because the rhyme is understood to allude to the bells of a City of London church, the drink is said to be named, indirectly, after either St Clement Eastcheap or St Clement Danes, both churches in London. The rhyme itself is a much older piece of English folklore, first printed in the mid-18th century, and its churches were already a well-known cultural reference long before the drink adopted the name. Beyond this naming link, no specific inventor, bar, or date for the drink's creation is documented; it is simply established in British drinking culture as a citrus mocktail carrying the rhyme's name.
