Serves 10 people
Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Premix (produces 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
Making the Syrup: Place the listed ingredients into a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, remove from the heat and leave to cool down completely. Decant into an clean bottle, close it keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Premix: Mix all the liquids into a big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the batch mix into your stirring glass filled with ice, and stir gently for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with a few cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
