Instructions
Making the Cordial: Combine every components in a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. Then, remove from the burner allowing it to cool down completely. Decant into an sterilised bottle, seal and store in the fridge, where it will keep for about one month.
To make Batch Mix: Combine all the liquids in a large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the batch mix to a stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Strain to a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, garnish with some cranberries and finish using a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the drink.
