200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Premix (yields 850ml, to serve 10)

Directions
To prepare the Cordial: Put the listed components inside a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, agitating to dissolve. Next, remove from the heat allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into an sealable bottle, close it keeping it in the fridge, it will last for up to a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Pour every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml from the cocktail base into your stirring glass packed with ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, top with some cranberries and complete it using a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
