Instructions
Making the Syrup: Combine all the items in a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Next, take off the stove allowing it to cool fully. Pour to a sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it can be stored for around four weeks.
For the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquid ingredients into one sizeable container, leave to sit for an hour, then strain preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into a cocktail shaker packed with ice, and stir lightly for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter into an chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and finish using a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
