Instructions
To prepare the Cordial: Put the listed items inside a pot, bring to a simmer, agitating to dissolve. After that, take off the stove and leave to cool down completely. Transfer into a sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Mix all the liquid ingredients in a big jug, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it best through a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml from the premix into your mixing glass containing ice, and agitate carefully for about 60 seconds to chill. Pour into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the drink.
