Yields 10 guests
To make the Clementine Syrup (yields 750ml)

200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Drink (yields 850ml, enough for 10)

100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish

Directions
For the Cordial: Put the listed components into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the burner allowing it to cool entirely. Transfer into an clean bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for about a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquids in a big jug, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into your cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds to chill. Strain into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil above the glass.
