300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Cocktail (yields 850ml, serving 10)

Directions
Making the Cordial: Place the listed ingredients into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring to dissolve. After that, remove from the burner and leave to reach room temperature fully. Pour into a sterilised bottle, seal keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for around a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into one big jug, let it rest for one hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml of your premix to a cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate carefully for a minute to chill. Strain to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries adding the final touch with a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the drink.
