Method
To prepare the Cordial: Put the listed ingredients inside a pot, bring to a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Then, take off the heat allowing it to cool entirely. Pour into a sealable bottle, cap it keeping it in the refrigerator, it can be stored for up to four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Pour every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml from the premix to a stirring glass packed with ice, and agitate lightly for a minute until cold. Pour to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, top with the cranberries and finish using a light spray of mandarin oil above the glass.
