500g fine sugar

200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Instructions
Making the Cordial: Place every components in a pot, bring to a light boil, mixing so the sugar melts. Next, take off the stove and leave to cool entirely. Transfer into a sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, it will last for about four weeks.
Preparing the Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the batch mix to a stirring glass filled with ice, and stir gently for a minute to chill. Pour into a chilled martini glass or similar, top with some cranberries and finish using a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
