Instructions
To prepare the Syrup: Put all the ingredients in a pan, bring to a light boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Next, turn off the heat allowing it to cool down fully. Pour into a sterilised bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Premix: Combine the specified spirits and syrup into a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml of your cocktail base into a stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for one minute until cold. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with a few cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
