500g fine sugar

100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)

Directions
Making the Syrup: Put all the components inside a pot, bring to a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, turn off the heat allowing it to cool entirely. Pour into a sealable bottle, cap it and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for up to four weeks.
To make Premix: Mix all the spirits and syrup in a big jug, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it preferably using muslin, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base into a mixing glass packed with ice, and agitate lightly for one minute until cold. Filter into an chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the top.
