Method
Making the Cordial: Place the listed components into a saucepan, bring to a light boil, agitating to dissolve. Then, take off the heat and leave to reach room temperature fully. Transfer into an sterilised bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Premix: Pour every spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it , ideally through a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Add 85ml of the batch mix into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Strain into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
