Serves 10 servings
To make the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Premix (produces 850ml, serving 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach schnapps

Fresh cranberries, to garnish

Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Place the listed items in a pan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from the stove allowing it to cool completely. Decant to a clean bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
To make Batch Mix: Mix the specified liquid ingredients into a large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using muslin, so it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Measure 85ml of the premix into a stirring glass filled with ice, and agitate carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, top with some cranberries adding the final touch with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
