Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (yields 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Method
Making the Syrup: Put the listed items inside a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. After that, turn off the burner and leave to cool down entirely. Pour into a sealable bottle, cap it and store in the fridge, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Batch Mix: Mix all the spirits and syrup into a big jug, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using cheesecloth, so it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml of your batch mix to a stirring glass containing ice, and stir lightly for a minute until cold. Filter to a chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and finish by giving it a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
