Yields 10 servings
To make the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Instructions
For the Cordial: Place all the items in a pot, bring to a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. Next, remove from the stove allowing it to reach room temperature completely. Decant to a clean bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, it will last for up to four weeks.
To make Cocktail Base: Mix all the spirits and syrup into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml of the batch mix into your stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute until cold. Strain into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries and finish by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
