Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Put the listed items in a pot, bring to a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the burner and leave to cool down entirely. Transfer to a sterilised bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for around a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquid ingredients in a big jug, leave to sit for one hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml of the cocktail base into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, gently stirring carefully for a minute to chill. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with the cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the top.
