Method
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items inside a pot, bring to a simmer, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, remove from the heat and leave to reach room temperature completely. Pour into an sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the fridge, it will last for about one month.
To make Batch Mix: Pour the specified liquid ingredients into a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, making it completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into a cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate carefully for one minute to chill. Pour to a cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray with the mandarin essence over the drink.
