Directions
For the Cordial: Combine all the components into a pot, bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve. After that, remove from the stove and leave to cool completely. Decant into an clean bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the fridge, it can be stored for up to four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Combine all the liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it best through cheesecloth, making it perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of the batch mix to a mixing glass packed with ice, and stir gently for one minute to chill. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of the essential oil above the glass.
