Method
To prepare the Cordial: Put all the components into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, take off the heat and leave to reach room temperature completely. Pour into a sealable bottle, close it and store chilled, it will last for around one month.
To make Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquid ingredients into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through , ideally through cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of your premix into a cocktail shaker packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute to chill. Filter into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and complete it using a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
