Ingredients for the Clementine Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Premix (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine cordial (see above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Place all the items in a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Then, take off the heat and leave to cool down entirely. Transfer into a sterilised bottle, seal and store chilled, where it will keep for around four weeks.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the premix to a stirring glass containing ice, and stir gently for a minute until cold. Pour into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries adding the final touch using a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
