Making the Cordial: Place the listed components in a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Next, take off the heat and leave to reach room temperature completely. Transfer into a clean bottle, cap it keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for about four weeks.
To make Cocktail Base: Combine every liquids into one sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml of the cocktail base into a stirring glass filled with ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Pour to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, garnish with a few cranberries adding the final touch using a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
