Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the components into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating to dissolve. Then, take off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into a sealable bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, it can be stored for about a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine the specified liquid ingredients into a big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain best through muslin, so it's fully clarified.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your premix into a stirring glass containing ice, and agitate lightly for a minute to cool it down. Pour into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries adding the final touch with a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
