Making the Cordial: Put the listed ingredients inside a pot, bring to a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Then, remove from the burner allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Pour into an sterilised bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, it can be stored for around one month.
To make Batch Mix: Mix the specified liquid ingredients in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for one hour, then pass it through best through cheesecloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml from the premix into your mixing glass packed with ice, and stir lightly for one minute to cool it down. Strain into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, decorate with a few cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
