Method
Making the Citrus Syrup: Put the listed ingredients in a pot, bring to a light boil, agitating to dissolve. Next, remove from the burner allowing it to cool fully. Decant into an sealable bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for about one month.
To make Premix: Mix all the liquids into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml of the batch mix into your mixing glass filled with ice, and stir gently for a minute until cold. Filter into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with the cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
