200ml fresh lemon juice
500g fine sugar

200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, to garnish

Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Combine the listed items into a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, turn off the burner allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Decant into an sterilised bottle, seal and store chilled, it can be stored for around one month.
To make Premix: Pour the specified liquid ingredients into one big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it best through muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for one minute to chill. Strain to a cold coupe glass or similar, top with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a light spray with the mandarin essence above the glass.
