Instructions
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items inside a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the burner and leave to cool entirely. Pour into an sterilised bottle, seal keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for up to four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Pour every spirits and syrup into one big jug, leave to sit for an hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml from the cocktail base into a mixing glass containing ice, and agitate carefully for one minute until cold. Strain into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the top.
