Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 servings
For the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
To make the Premix (yields 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Method
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed components into a pan, bring to a light boil, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, take off the heat and leave to cool fully. Decant to a sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the fridge, it will last for about one month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine the specified liquids into one large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then filter it best through muslin, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml of the premix into your stirring glass packed with ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it by giving it a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
