Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Put the listed items into a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Next, take off the heat and leave to cool entirely. Pour into an sealable bottle, close it and store chilled, where it will keep for around a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Mix the specified liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it , ideally through cheesecloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your premix into a stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Pour into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, decorate with the cranberries and complete it by giving it a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
