Yields 10 servings
Ingredients for the Clementine Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Cocktail (yields 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Cordial: Place all the ingredients into a pot, bring to a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, take off the burner allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Pour into an sterilised bottle, close it and store in the fridge, it can be stored for about four weeks.
Preparing the Premix: Pour all the spirits and syrup into one big jug, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml of your premix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, gently stirring gently for one minute until cold. Filter into a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
