To make the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Cocktail (makes 850ml, enough for 10)

Directions
Making the Syrup: Place the listed components inside a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. After that, remove from the heat and leave to cool entirely. Decant to a clean bottle, close it keeping it in the refrigerator, it can be stored for around one month.
To make Cocktail Base: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, let it rest for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the premix into a stirring glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Strain to a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz with the mandarin essence above the glass.
