Making the Cordial: Combine every items inside a pan, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, remove from the burner allowing it to cool fully. Decant to a sterilised bottle, cap it keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Batch Mix: Mix the specified liquids into a big jug, leave to sit for one hour, then strain preferably using muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into a stirring glass containing ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute until cold. Pour to a chilled martini glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
