To make Premix: Combine all the liquids into a sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the batch mix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and stir carefully for a minute until cold. Filter to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with the cranberries and complete it with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
