To make the Cocktail (yields 850ml, enough for 10)

100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Method
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Combine every items inside a pot, bring to a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, remove from the burner and leave to cool fully. Transfer into an sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for around a month.
To make Premix: Pour every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your cocktail base into your mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute to cool it down. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with some cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
