For the Premix: Mix the specified spirits and syrup in a large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, making it perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml from the premix into your mixing glass containing ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute until cold. Strain to a chilled martini glass or similar, decorate with a few cranberries and complete it with a brief mist of mandarin oil above the glass.
