Serves 10 servings
For the Clementine Syrup (makes 750ml)

200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar

150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Put all the components in a saucepan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, remove from the burner allowing it to cool down entirely. Decant into a sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the fridge, it can be stored for up to a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquid ingredients into a large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then pass it through , ideally through cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml of your batch mix into your mixing glass containing ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with a few cranberries and complete it with a brief mist of mandarin oil above the glass.
