To make Premix: Combine the specified liquid ingredients in a big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of your premix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and stir gently for one minute until cold. Filter into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and finish by giving it a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
