200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar

100ml dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)

Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, remove from the stove allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Decant into a sterilised bottle, cap it and store chilled, where it will keep for about four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Combine the specified liquids in a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml from the cocktail base to a stirring glass filled with ice, and agitate lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Pour into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries adding the final touch with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the drink.
