Combine sugar, ½ cup water and spices in a small pan and heat gently, stirring, until melted to a thick, clear syrup. Take off heat, add citrus juices, stir again and let cool, at least ½ hour. Strain into a bowl, add candied ginger, mint and extract, stirring to mix.

Fill a wine goblet or tall glass with crushed ice and ladle in ¼ to ½ cup of the mixture. Stir, then top with club soda.

Used mandarin oranges instead of oranges, but it probably would have been better with oranges. Very interesting flavor. Perhaps a bit too much mint for me, but still enjoyable.
