Method
For the Syrup: Combine every items inside a pot, bring to a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Pour to a sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for around four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Mix the specified liquids in a big jug, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of your batch mix to a mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute until cold. Filter into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, decorate with the cranberries and complete it by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil above the glass.
