To prepare the Syrup: Combine the listed ingredients into a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating to dissolve. After that, take off the burner and leave to cool entirely. Transfer into an sealable bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to one month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Mix every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, leave to sit for an hour, then pass it through , ideally through a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml from the premix to a stirring glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for one minute until cold. Pour into an chilled martini glass or similar, top with the cranberries and complete it with a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the drink.
