Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Drink (produces 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Instructions
For the Cordial: Place the listed items inside a saucepan, bring to a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Then, take off the heat and leave to cool down entirely. Decant to a sealable bottle, seal keeping it in the fridge, where it will keep for about one month.
For the Cocktail Base: Combine all the spirits and syrup into a big jug, allow it to infuse for an hour, then pass it through , ideally through cheesecloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Add 85ml from the cocktail base into a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries and finish with a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
