Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Premix (produces 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Cordial: Put the listed items into a pot, bring to a gentle boil, agitating to dissolve. Next, turn off the heat and leave to cool fully. Decant into a clean bottle, close it keeping it chilled, it will last for up to a month.
For the Premix: Combine the specified liquids in a big jug, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of the batch mix to a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter to a chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and complete it using a light spray of the essential oil over the drink.
