To prepare the Cordial: Put the listed items into a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the heat allowing it to cool completely. Transfer into an clean bottle, close it and store chilled, it can be stored for around a month.
For the Batch Mix: Pour all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain best through a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml from the batch mix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and stir carefully for a minute until cold. Filter into a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with the cranberries and finish using a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
