Method
Making the Citrus Syrup: Put all the ingredients into a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, take off the stove allowing it to cool completely. Decant to a clean bottle, seal and store in the refrigerator, it will last for up to a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine the specified spirits and syrup in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, making it completely strained.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of the premix to a stirring glass containing ice, and agitate carefully for a minute to cool it down. Strain into a cold coupe glass or similar, top with some cranberries and finish using a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
