Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 people
Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Cocktail (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
Making the Syrup: Put the listed ingredients inside a saucepan, bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve. After that, take off the stove and leave to cool fully. Decant into an sterilised bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the fridge, it will last for about four weeks.
Preparing the Premix: Mix all the liquids into a sizeable container, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then filter it preferably using a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml from the batch mix into your mixing glass containing ice, and stir gently for one minute until cold. Pour to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with the cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist with the mandarin essence above the glass.
