Yields 10 people
To make the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (produces 850ml, serving 10)

150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (see above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Instructions
To prepare the Syrup: Put all the ingredients into a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, turn off the stove and leave to cool down completely. Decant into a sealable bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the fridge, it can be stored for up to one month.
For the Batch Mix: Combine the specified liquids in a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base to a mixing glass filled with ice, and agitate lightly for a minute until cold. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the drink.
