500g fine sugar

200ml clementine cordial (see above)

Instructions
For the Cordial: Combine the listed ingredients into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Next, take off the stove allowing it to cool fully. Pour into an sealable bottle, close it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for around one month.
To make Premix: Mix the specified spirits and syrup into one large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then filter it , ideally through cheesecloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml of the premix into your mixing glass containing ice, and stir lightly for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter into an chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the drink.
