200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
To make the Premix (makes 850ml, serving 10)

Instructions
For the Cordial: Put all the components into a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, remove from the burner allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Transfer into an sealable bottle, cap it keeping it in the fridge, it will last for about a month.
To make Batch Mix: Pour all the liquid ingredients in a big jug, let it rest for one hour, then strain preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml of your cocktail base into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate lightly for a minute to chill. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with a few cranberries and finish using a brief mist of mandarin oil above the glass.
