Method
To prepare the Syrup: Put all the components into a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, remove from the heat and leave to cool down completely. Decant to a clean bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, it can be stored for about one month.
For the Cocktail Base: Combine the specified liquids into one big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix into your mixing glass containing ice, and agitate lightly for a minute to cool it down. Strain into a cold coupe glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and complete it with a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
