300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Cocktail (produces 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
For the Cordial: Put all the components inside a pan, bring to a light boil, stirring to dissolve. Then, remove from the burner and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Decant to a clean bottle, close it keeping it in the refrigerator, it can be stored for about a month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Combine all the liquid ingredients into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain best through cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml of your premix into a cocktail shaker packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter to a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
