Bikini Recipe
Yields 10 guests
To make the Clementine Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
For the Cocktail (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
To prepare the Cordial: Put the listed components inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing to dissolve. After that, take off the burner allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into an sterilised bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to one month.
For the Premix: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into a large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then filter it , ideally through a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base into a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir lightly for one minute to cool it down. Pour into an cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with a few cranberries and finish using a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
