200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Cocktail (produces 850ml, enough for 10)

Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items in a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Then, turn off the stove and leave to cool down entirely. Transfer to a sterilised bottle, close it and store in the fridge, it will last for up to a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then pass it through best through cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your cocktail base into your stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring carefully for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter to a chilled martini glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries and complete it by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil above the glass.
