Bikini Recipe
Yields 10 servings
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Drink (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
For the Citrus Syrup: Combine the listed ingredients in a pan, bring to a light boil, stirring to dissolve. After that, turn off the stove and leave to cool down fully. Pour into a sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for up to one month.
To make Batch Mix: Mix all the liquids into one sizeable container, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain , ideally through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml of your premix into your cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring gently for a minute to cool it down. Pour to a chilled martini glass or equivalent, top with the cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
