Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
Making the Syrup: Put all the items into a pot, bring to a simmer, stirring to dissolve. Then, take off the heat allowing it to cool down entirely. Transfer into an sealable bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the fridge, where it will keep for about one month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Pour all the spirits and syrup into one big jug, allow it to infuse for an hour, then filter it best through muslin, making it perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute until cold. Strain to a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, top with the cranberries and complete it with a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
