Method
For the Cordial: Combine the listed components inside a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, take off the stove allowing it to cool completely. Transfer into an clean bottle, close it and store in the fridge, it will last for around a month.
To make Batch Mix: Combine all the liquids into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it , ideally through muslin, making it perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into a mixing glass containing ice, and agitate carefully for a minute to chill. Strain into an cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
