Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 guests
Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Drink (yields 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (see above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine the listed ingredients inside a pan, bring to a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, remove from the burner allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Pour to a sterilised bottle, close it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for about four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Pour every spirits and syrup in a big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the premix into your cocktail shaker containing ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, top with a few cranberries adding the final touch with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the drink.
