Preparing the Premix: Pour all the spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain , ideally through cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix into a cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate carefully for one minute to chill. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries adding the final touch with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence above the glass.
