For the Premix: Mix the specified liquids into one sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then strain , ideally through cheesecloth, making it completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass packed with ice, and stir gently for a minute to cool it down. Filter into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with a few cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a brief mist of the essential oil above the glass.
