WHere is a simplified interpretation of a drink from a new cocktail list. Designed as a large-volume premix that is bursting full of tastes of a festive period, which makes it excellent for a celebration. Save the extra syrup you can use for brunch beverages, sweets, or to make more rounds of bikinis.

Yields 10 guests
Ingredients for the Citrus Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Premix (makes 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (see above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed ingredients inside a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the heat allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into a sterilised bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the fridge, it will last for around a month.
Preparing the Premix: Pour all the liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it best through cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
To serve: Add 85ml of the premix into your mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into a cold coupe glass or similar, top with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the top.
