Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 guests
To make the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Premix (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Put all the items into a pot, bring to a gentle boil, mixing so the sugar melts. Next, take off the burner and leave to cool down completely. Decant into a sealable bottle, seal keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for about four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Pour the specified liquid ingredients into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then filter it , ideally through cheesecloth, making it perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml from the premix into a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and stir lightly for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and finish with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the drink.
