For the Syrup: Combine the listed items in a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring to dissolve. Then, take off the burner allowing it to cool entirely. Decant into an sealable bottle, seal and store chilled, it can be stored for around a month.
To make Batch Mix: Combine the specified liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain , ideally through a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml from the cocktail base into your cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate gently for about 60 seconds until cold. Strain to a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with some cranberries and finish with a light spray of the essential oil over the drink.
