Instructions
Making the Cordial: Place the listed items in a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating so the sugar melts. Next, turn off the stove and leave to cool fully. Pour into a sealable bottle, seal keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for around a month.
Preparing the Premix: Pour the specified liquids into one sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of the cocktail base to a stirring glass filled with ice, and stir carefully for one minute to chill. Strain to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with some cranberries adding the final touch using a quick spritz of the essential oil over the drink.
