Method
Making the Syrup: Place all the items in a pan, bring to a light boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, take off the burner and leave to cool down entirely. Pour into a clean bottle, seal and store chilled, it can be stored for around a month.
For the Premix: Mix the specified spirits and syrup in a large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, making it completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml of your batch mix into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for one minute to cool it down. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist with the mandarin essence above the glass.
