Preparing the Batch Mix: Mix all the spirits and syrup into a big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it best through cheesecloth, making it fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of your cocktail base into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, gently stirring gently for one minute until cold. Strain into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with a few cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
