To make Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquid ingredients in a large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then strain preferably using muslin, making it completely strained.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of the premix into a mixing glass containing ice, and stir carefully for a minute until cold. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the drink.
