Method
Making the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the components into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Then, turn off the burner and leave to cool down fully. Transfer to a sterilised bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine the specified liquids into a large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain best through muslin, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml of the cocktail base into a stirring glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute to cool it down. Filter into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, decorate with the cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray of the essential oil over the drink.
