For the Premix: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then pass it through preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.

When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base to a mixing glass containing ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Filter into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries and complete it by giving it a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
