Instructions
Making the Cordial: Put the listed items into a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Then, remove from the heat allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Pour into an sterilised bottle, close it and store chilled, it can be stored for about one month.
To make Premix: Mix every spirits and syrup in a sizeable container, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Pour to a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the drink.
