For the Batch Mix: Mix all the spirits and syrup in a big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then pass it through , ideally through muslin, making it perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml of your cocktail base into a mixing glass containing ice, and stir lightly for about 60 seconds until cold. Pour into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries and complete it using a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the drink.
