Serves 10 people

Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)

300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar

Ingredients for the Premix (makes 850ml, enough for 10)

100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch

Instructions

To prepare the Syrup: Place all the ingredients into a saucepan, bring to a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from the burner and leave to cool down entirely. Transfer to a sterilised bottle, seal keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to one month.

Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquid ingredients into one big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it , ideally through a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.

For serving: Pour 85ml of the cocktail base into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate carefully for a minute until cold. Strain to a chilled martini glass or similar, top with a few cranberries and complete it using a light spray of mandarin oil over the drink.
