200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar

Directions
For the Citrus Syrup: Put all the items inside a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating to dissolve. Then, turn off the heat and leave to reach room temperature fully. Pour into a clean bottle, cap it and store chilled, it will last for around one month.
For the Premix: Mix all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into your mixing glass containing ice, and agitate lightly for about 60 seconds until cold. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with a few cranberries and finish with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
