Instructions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Put every components inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Next, remove from the burner allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Decant into a clean bottle, close it and store in the fridge, it will last for about four weeks.
To make Cocktail Base: Mix the specified liquids into one sizeable container, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it best through cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the cocktail base into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, gently stirring carefully for a minute to chill. Pour to a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
