Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Place all the ingredients into a pan, bring to a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the heat and leave to reach room temperature fully. Pour into an sealable bottle, cap it keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to one month.
For the Premix: Combine all the spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for an hour, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Measure 85ml of the batch mix into your stirring glass packed with ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Strain into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with some cranberries and finish using a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
