Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Combine the listed items into a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the stove and leave to cool fully. Decant to a clean bottle, seal and store in the fridge, where it will keep for about four weeks.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquids into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, making it perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml from the cocktail base into a stirring glass packed with ice, and agitate carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries and finish with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
