For the Cordial: Combine all the components in a pot, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Then, turn off the heat allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer to a sealable bottle, close it keeping it chilled, it will last for about one month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Mix the specified liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into a stirring glass containing ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds to chill. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries and complete it using a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
