Preparing the Cocktail Base: Mix every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then filter it , ideally through a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.

To serve: Pour 85ml from the batch mix to a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute to cool it down. Strain into a chilled martini glass or similar, top with the cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
