Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquids in a sizeable container, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of the premix to a mixing glass containing ice, and stir gently for a minute until cold. Strain to a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with some cranberries and finish using a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
