Makes enough for 10 servings
Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (yields 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
Making the Cordial: Combine the listed items into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating to dissolve. After that, take off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into a sterilised bottle, seal and store in the refrigerator, it will last for around one month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Mix all the liquids into a big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into your cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate lightly for a minute to chill. Pour into a chilled martini glass or similar, decorate with a few cranberries and finish using a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the top.
