Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Combine the listed ingredients into a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating to dissolve. Next, remove from the stove and leave to cool down entirely. Decant to a sterilised bottle, seal keeping it in the fridge, it will last for around one month.
Preparing the Premix: Pour all the liquids into one sizeable container, leave to sit for one hour, then pass it through best through muslin, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml of your cocktail base into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Pour into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries and finish with a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
