For the Syrup: Put the listed items in a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring to dissolve. Next, remove from the stove allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Decant to a sealable bottle, seal and store in the fridge, where it will keep for about four weeks.
For the Cocktail Base: Pour the specified spirits and syrup in a large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the cocktail base into your mixing glass packed with ice, and agitate lightly for one minute until cold. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch using a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
