For the Syrup: Place the listed ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Then, take off the heat allowing it to cool entirely. Transfer to a clean bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it will last for about a month.

For the Premix: Mix all the spirits and syrup into one large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, making it completely strained.

For serving: Measure 85ml of your batch mix into a cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate carefully for a minute to cool it down. Strain to a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, decorate with the cranberries and finish with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
