For the Clementine Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g caster sugar

200ml clementine syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish

Instructions
Making the Syrup: Combine all the components into a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from the stove and leave to cool down completely. Decant into a sealable bottle, seal and store in the fridge, where it will keep for around four weeks.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Mix the specified liquids into one sizeable container, leave to sit for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the premix into a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir lightly for a minute to cool it down. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries and finish using a brief mist of the essential oil above the glass.
