Making the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the components into a saucepan, bring to a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the burner allowing it to cool down fully. Decant into a clean bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, it can be stored for around a month.
To make Cocktail Base: Combine the specified liquids into a large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, making it perfectly clear.
For serving: Add 85ml from the batch mix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate lightly for a minute until cold. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
