Method
For the Syrup: Put the listed components inside a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, remove from the stove and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Decant into a clean bottle, cap it and store chilled, where it will keep for about one month.
For the Premix: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into one big jug, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it , ideally through a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the premix into your stirring glass filled with ice, and stir gently for a minute until cold. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with a few cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
