Directions
Making the Cordial: Combine the listed components inside a pan, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into an sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the fridge, it can be stored for up to one month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquids into a big jug, let it rest for an hour, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your batch mix to a cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate lightly for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray with the mandarin essence above the glass.
