300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Drink (produces 850ml, enough for 10)

100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, for garnish

Instructions
For the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed ingredients inside a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing to dissolve. Next, take off the heat allowing it to cool down fully. Decant into a clean bottle, seal keeping it chilled, it will last for about one month.
To make Batch Mix: Pour every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix to a stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Pour to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries and finish with a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the top.
