Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Combine all the ingredients in a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing so the sugar melts. Then, take off the burner allowing it to cool down completely. Transfer into an sterilised bottle, close it and store chilled, it can be stored for around one month.
To make Premix: Combine all the liquids into a sizeable container, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it best through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the batch mix into your mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for one minute to chill. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with a few cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a quick spritz with the mandarin essence above the glass.
