Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Place all the items into a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from the stove allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Decant into a sealable bottle, seal keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for around one month.
To make Premix: Pour all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, leave to sit for an hour, then pass it through preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml of your cocktail base into a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds until cold. Strain to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
