Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items in a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, stirring to dissolve. After that, take off the stove allowing it to cool down entirely. Pour into an sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for about one month.
To make Premix: Combine all the spirits and syrup into a sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through preferably using muslin, making it perfectly clear.
To serve: Measure 85ml of the premix into your stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Strain to a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a light spray of the essential oil over the drink.
