To make Cocktail Base: Mix all the liquids into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through , ideally through a fine cloth, making it perfectly clear.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base to a mixing glass packed with ice, and stir gently for a minute to chill. Filter into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, top with some cranberries and finish using a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
