Ingredients for the Clementine Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (produces 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
To prepare the Syrup: Combine the listed items inside a pan, bring to a light boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Then, turn off the heat and leave to reach room temperature completely. Transfer into a clean bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Combine every spirits and syrup into a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
To serve: Add 85ml from the premix into a stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring carefully for a minute until cold. Pour into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries and complete it with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the drink.
