To make Batch Mix: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into a big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base into a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir gently for a minute to cool it down. Filter into an cold coupe glass or similar, top with the cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the drink.
