Yields 10 people
For the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
For the Citrus Syrup: Put the listed components inside a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, take off the stove and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Decant to a clean bottle, cap it keeping it in the fridge, it can be stored for around one month.
For the Batch Mix: Mix all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, making it completely strained.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter to a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, decorate with a few cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
