Instructions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Place all the components inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then, turn off the burner allowing it to cool down fully. Decant to a sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, it can be stored for about a month.
To make Cocktail Base: Pour every spirits and syrup into one big jug, let it rest for one hour, then pass it through , ideally through muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of the premix into your stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute to cool it down. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
