Instructions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Place all the components into a saucepan, bring to a simmer, mixing to dissolve. After that, remove from the stove and leave to cool down entirely. Pour to a sealable bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for around one month.
To make Cocktail Base: Pour the specified liquid ingredients into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using cheesecloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the batch mix into a mixing glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute to cool it down. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
