Serves 10 guests
For the Citrus Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (see above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish

Method
For the Cordial: Place the listed items in a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, remove from the heat and leave to cool down fully. Transfer into an sealable bottle, cap it and store in the fridge, where it will keep for around one month.
For the Cocktail Base: Mix all the liquids in a big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then strain , ideally through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base to a cocktail shaker packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, garnish with some cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the drink.
