200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar

200ml clementine cordial (as made above)

Instructions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Place all the ingredients into a pot, bring to a light boil, mixing to dissolve. Next, take off the heat and leave to cool down completely. Decant into a sterilised bottle, seal keeping it chilled, where it will keep for about four weeks.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Mix the specified spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain best through muslin, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your premix into your cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring gently for a minute to cool it down. Pour to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries and finish using a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the top.
