Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Instructions
For the Syrup: Put all the items inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing so the sugar melts. After that, remove from the stove allowing it to cool down completely. Pour to a sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, it will last for around a month.
For the Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your premix to a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring gently for a minute until cold. Filter to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray of mandarin oil above the glass.
