Serves 10 guests
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Cocktail (yields 850ml, enough for 10)

100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
Making the Cordial: Combine all the components inside a pot, bring to a gentle boil, agitating to dissolve. After that, take off the heat allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Pour into an sealable bottle, cap it and store chilled, it will last for about a month.
For the Premix: Combine all the liquids into a large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the premix to a mixing glass packed with ice, and agitate carefully for one minute to cool it down. Filter into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz of the essential oil over the drink.
