Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 servings
To make the Clementine Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Premix (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Cordial: Put the listed components in a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, remove from the heat and leave to cool completely. Pour to a sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for around a month.
To make Batch Mix: Combine all the liquid ingredients into a large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml from the batch mix to a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir gently for one minute until cold. Pour into a cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with a few cranberries and complete it using a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
