Serves 10 guests
To make the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Drink (produces 850ml, serving 10)

150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish

Method
To prepare the Syrup: Put all the ingredients in a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring to dissolve. After that, turn off the stove allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into a clean bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for about a month.
Preparing the Premix: Mix every liquids in a big jug, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then filter it best through cheesecloth, making it completely strained.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml from the cocktail base into your mixing glass containing ice, and stir carefully for a minute until cold. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and finish using a light spray of mandarin oil over the drink.
