To prepare the Syrup: Put every items in a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the stove allowing it to cool fully. Decant into an sterilised bottle, close it and store in the fridge, where it will keep for around four weeks.
Preparing the Premix: Combine all the liquids into one large bottle, leave to sit for an hour, then pass it through preferably using cheesecloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into your stirring glass filled with ice, and stir gently for a minute until cold. Pour into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, top with the cranberries adding the final touch using a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
