For the Batch Mix: Mix all the liquids into one sizeable container, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it preferably using muslin, making it fully clarified.
To serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate lightly for a minute to chill. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries and complete it by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil above the glass.
