Makes enough for 10 guests
For the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Drink (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Instructions
For the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed items inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the burner allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Pour into a sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it will last for around a month.
To make Cocktail Base: Mix all the spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base to a stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for a minute to chill. Pour into a chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil over the drink.
