Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 servings
To make the Clementine Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Cocktail (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Method
Making the Citrus Syrup: Put the listed ingredients inside a saucepan, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the stove allowing it to reach room temperature completely. Transfer into an sterilised bottle, seal and store chilled, where it will keep for about one month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Pour the specified liquids in a big jug, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it preferably using cheesecloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your cocktail base into your mixing glass containing ice, gently stirring gently for one minute to cool it down. Pour into an cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries and finish with a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
