Method
To prepare the Syrup: Put all the items into a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, turn off the heat allowing it to cool down fully. Transfer into a sealable bottle, close it keeping it chilled, it will last for about a month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Pour all the liquids into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for an hour, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml from the premix to a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with some cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
