200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Drink (yields 850ml, to serve 10)

200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring to dissolve. After that, turn off the heat and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Pour to a sterilised bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it will last for up to four weeks.
To make Premix: Mix all the spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it best through muslin, so it's fully clarified.
To serve: Measure 85ml of the premix into your mixing glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter into an cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, top with some cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
