To prepare the Syrup: Combine all the items in a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, take off the heat and leave to cool down completely. Transfer into a sterilised bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, it will last for about a month.
To make Premix: Pour every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, let it rest for one hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
To serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix into your mixing glass packed with ice, and stir carefully for one minute to chill. Pour to a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with some cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
