Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 guests
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Cocktail (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
For the Cordial: Put all the ingredients in a pot, bring to a simmer, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, take off the burner allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Decant to a sealable bottle, cap it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about one month.
To make Premix: Pour all the spirits and syrup into one sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then pass it through , ideally through muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base into your stirring glass packed with ice, and stir gently for one minute until cold. Strain to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist of the essential oil over the drink.
