Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 guests
Ingredients for the Clementine Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Drink (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Method
For the Cordial: Place all the ingredients into a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. After that, remove from the burner and leave to reach room temperature fully. Pour into an sealable bottle, close it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for about one month.
To make Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass packed with ice, and stir carefully for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Pour to a frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, top with a few cranberries and finish by giving it a quick spritz with the mandarin essence above the glass.
