500g fine sugar
To make the Cocktail (produces 850ml, enough for 10)

Directions
For the Syrup: Place all the ingredients into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the heat and leave to reach room temperature fully. Decant into an sealable bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, it will last for up to a month.
To make Premix: Mix the specified liquids in a big jug, leave to sit for one hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base into a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds until cold. Pour into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, top with some cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
