Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Place all the ingredients into a pan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Then, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Pour into a sealable bottle, close it and store in the fridge, it will last for about four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Mix all the liquids into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain best through muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the premix into your cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate carefully for a minute to cool it down. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and complete it using a light spray with the mandarin essence over the drink.
