For the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)

200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Drink (produces 850ml, to serve 10)

150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)

Method
Making the Syrup: Place all the items into a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating to dissolve. Next, remove from the heat and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into a clean bottle, cap it keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Combine all the spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, making it perfectly clear.
For serving: Measure 85ml from the premix to a cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate gently for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Strain into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries and finish with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
