200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (produces 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (see above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish

Directions
Making the Syrup: Put every components into a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring to dissolve. After that, take off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into a sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for about one month.
Preparing the Premix: Mix the specified liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml from the batch mix into your mixing glass packed with ice, and stir lightly for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Strain into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries and finish using a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
