Method
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Place all the components in a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, remove from the stove and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Decant to a sealable bottle, close it and store in the fridge, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Premix: Combine every liquids into one sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your batch mix into a stirring glass containing ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries and finish with a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
