September’s Drink: The Citrus Sparkle

As the seasons change, we’re excited to share a cocktail that embodies the vibrant energy of our club. The Clubhouse Citrus Sparkle combines bright citrus notes with a touch of effervescence, making it an ideal drink for a sunny afternoon on the terrace or an evening gathering with friends.

This recipe serves one, but can easily be scaled up for a crowd at your next event.


✨ Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin (a premium brand like Hendrick’s or Bombay Sapphire works beautifully)
  • 1 oz fresh-squeezed orange juice
  • ½ oz elderflower liqueur (such as St-Germain)
  • ½ oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 3 oz prosecco or sparkling wine
  • Ice
  • Orange twist or edible flower (for garnish)

🥂 Instructions

  1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
  2. Add the gin, fresh orange juice, elderflower liqueur, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to chill and combine the flavors.
  4. Strain the mixture into a highball glass over ice.
  5. Top with prosecco or sparkling wine for a delightful fizz.
  6. Garnish with an orange twist or an edible flower for an elegant touch.

💡 Serving Tip

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the gin and elderflower liqueur with 2 oz of elderflower soda or tonic water, and use a non-alcoholic sparkling wine or club soda for the fizz. It’s just as refreshing!
