For the Citrus Syrup: Put all the components inside a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Next, turn off the stove and leave to cool down completely. Transfer into an clean bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it will last for around four weeks.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquids into a sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base into a mixing glass filled with ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
