Serves 10 people
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)

200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Cocktail (produces 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Syrup: Place the listed items inside a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. After that, take off the burner and leave to reach room temperature completely. Transfer into an clean bottle, cap it keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for around four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Combine all the liquids into a large bottle, let it rest for one hour, then filter it best through cheesecloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into your mixing glass filled with ice, and agitate gently for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with some cranberries and complete it using a light spray with the mandarin essence above the glass.
