Preparing the Premix: Mix all the liquid ingredients into a large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then filter it best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, gently stirring gently for one minute until cold. Strain into an cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a light spray with the mandarin essence above the glass.
