Ingredients for the Citrus Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Drink (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Cordial: Combine all the items in a pan, bring to a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the burner allowing it to cool fully. Decant into an sterilised bottle, close it and store in the fridge, it will last for about a month.
To make Premix: Pour all the liquids into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of the premix into your mixing glass containing ice, and agitate gently for one minute to chill. Filter to a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
