500g caster sugar
For the Drink (produces 850ml, to serve 10)

For the Citrus Syrup: Combine the listed items into a saucepan, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the burner and leave to cool down fully. Transfer into an clean bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the fridge, it will last for around four weeks.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Mix every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your premix into your cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate lightly for a minute until cold. Strain to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, decorate with the cranberries and finish using a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the top.
