500g caster sugar

Instructions

For the Syrup: Combine the listed items inside a pan, bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve. Next, take off the stove and leave to cool down completely. Decant into an sealable bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to one month.

To make Premix: Pour all the spirits and syrup in a big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, making it perfectly clear.

When ready to serve: Add 85ml of the premix to a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Strain into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with some cranberries and complete it using a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the drink.
