Instructions
Making the Citrus Syrup: Put all the components in a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, remove from the heat allowing it to cool down completely. Decant into an sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, it will last for around four weeks.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Mix every liquid ingredients into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then pass it through best through cheesecloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml from the batch mix to a mixing glass containing ice, and stir lightly for a minute until cold. Filter into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, garnish with some cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil above the glass.
