Bikini Recipe
Yields 10 servings
To make the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (produces 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Method
Making the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed components into a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Next, remove from the heat allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Pour into an sterilised bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it will last for around a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Combine the specified liquids into a sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then filter it best through muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
For serving: Add 85ml of the premix to a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring gently for a minute to cool it down. Strain to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with some cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the drink.
