To prepare the Syrup: Combine the listed items inside a pot, bring to a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, take off the stove and leave to cool completely. Pour into an clean bottle, cap it keeping it in the fridge, it will last for around one month.
For the Batch Mix: Mix all the spirits and syrup in a sizeable container, leave to sit for an hour, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Add 85ml of your batch mix into your mixing glass containing ice, and agitate carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Strain to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries and finish using a quick spritz with the mandarin essence above the glass.
