Yields 10 servings
Ingredients for the Citrus Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Cocktail (yields 850ml, serving 10)

Method
To prepare the Syrup: Combine the listed items inside a saucepan, bring to a simmer, agitating so the sugar melts. Then, take off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into a sterilised bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for around one month.
For the Batch Mix: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain best through cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds to chill. Pour into a chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with some cranberries and complete it using a light spray of the essential oil over the drink.
