To make Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through , ideally through cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml of the batch mix into a stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
