200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (produces 850ml, enough for 10)

150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, for garnish

Instructions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed ingredients inside a pot, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Then, take off the stove allowing it to cool completely. Decant to a sterilised bottle, cap it keeping it in the refrigerator, it will last for about one month.
To make Batch Mix: Combine all the spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml from the cocktail base to a mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for a minute to chill. Filter into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
