Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Put every components into a saucepan, bring to a simmer, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the heat and leave to cool down fully. Decant into a sealable bottle, close it and store chilled, it can be stored for around a month.
For the Premix: Combine all the liquid ingredients into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix into a stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter to a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and finish with a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
