200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Cocktail (makes 850ml, enough for 10)

200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish

Directions
For the Cordial: Place the listed ingredients in a pan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating to dissolve. After that, turn off the stove allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Pour into an sealable bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for around a month.
To make Cocktail Base: Mix the specified liquids into a large bottle, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, making it completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base to a cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate lightly for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil over the drink.
