500g granulated sugar
To make the Cocktail (yields 850ml, to serve 10)

Directions
To prepare the Syrup: Combine the listed ingredients into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. Then, turn off the burner allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Pour into a sealable bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, it will last for about four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Mix all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain best through muslin, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Measure 85ml from the batch mix into a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir gently for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch using a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the top.
