Generating energy functions for heterogeneous systems suitable for quantitative and predictive atomistic simulations is a challenging undertaking. The present work combines a cluster-based approach with electronic structure calculations at the density functional theory level and machine learning-based energy functions for a spectroscopic reporter for eutectic mixtures consisting of water, acetamide and KSCN. Two water models are considered: TIP3P which is consistent with the CGenFF energy function and TIP4P which - as a water model - is superior to TIP4P. Both fitted models, {\bf M2ᵀᴵᴾ³ᴾ} and {\bf M2ᵀᴵᴾ⁴ᴾ}, yield favourable thermodynamic, structural, spectroscopic and transport properties from extensive molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, the slow and fast decay times from 2-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and the viscosity for water-rich mixtures are described realistically and consistent with experiments. On the other hand, including the co-solvent (acetamide) in the present case is expected to further improve the computed viscosity for low-water content. It is concluded that such a cluster-based approach is a promising and generalizable route for routine parametrization of heterogeneous, electrostatically dominated systems.
