500g fine sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (yields 850ml, enough for 10)

Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the components inside a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating to dissolve. Next, remove from the heat allowing it to cool completely. Decant into a sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it will last for about four weeks.
For the Premix: Mix the specified liquid ingredients into one big jug, let it rest for an hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, making it perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into a mixing glass filled with ice, and agitate carefully for one minute until cold. Pour to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and finish by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
