500g caster sugar

200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Syrup: Place all the items inside a pot, bring to a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, remove from the heat and leave to cool entirely. Decant into a clean bottle, close it and store in the fridge, where it will keep for around a month.
Preparing the Premix: Pour all the spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it , ideally through muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base to a mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for one minute to cool it down. Strain into an cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz of the essential oil above the glass.
