To make Batch Mix: Pour the specified liquid ingredients into one big jug, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it preferably using muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of your batch mix into a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into an cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
