Preparing the Batch Mix: Combine every liquids into one sizeable container, leave to sit for one hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the batch mix to a stirring glass containing ice, and stir lightly for a minute to cool it down. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries and finish using a light spray of the essential oil over the drink.
