Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Premix (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
Making the Syrup: Place all the components into a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the burner and leave to cool down entirely. Pour into an sterilised bottle, close it and store chilled, where it will keep for around four weeks.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquids in a big jug, leave to sit for an hour, then filter it best through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your premix into your stirring glass containing ice, gently stirring gently for about 60 seconds until cold. Filter to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and finish by giving it a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
