Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquids into a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then filter it preferably using muslin, to ensure it's perfectly clear.

Pour into a chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
