Instructions
Making the Cordial: Combine all the ingredients into a saucepan, bring to a simmer, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the heat allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into an sterilised bottle, close it and store chilled, it will last for about a month.
To make Cocktail Base: Pour the specified liquids in a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your cocktail base into a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir carefully for one minute until cold. Pour into an chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch with a quick spritz of the essential oil above the glass.
