Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Combine the listed ingredients in a pot, bring to a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, turn off the heat allowing it to cool entirely. Transfer into an sterilised bottle, close it keeping it in the refrigerator, it will last for about one month.
To make Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain best through a fine cloth, making it completely strained.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml from the batch mix into a cocktail shaker packed with ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it using a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
