Instructions
Making the Cordial: Place every ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from the burner and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer to a clean bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for around a month.
To make Premix: Combine all the spirits and syrup into a big jug, let it rest for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using cheesecloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the batch mix to a cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate lightly for one minute to chill. Filter into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with the cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
