Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine the listed components into a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing to dissolve. After that, remove from the burner allowing it to cool completely. Pour into an sealable bottle, seal and store in the fridge, where it will keep for around a month.
For the Premix: Pour all the liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, let it rest for 60 minutes, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Strain into a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with a few cranberries and complete it using a light spray of mandarin oil over the drink.
