Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Drink (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Instructions
Making the Cordial: Put the listed ingredients inside a saucepan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing so the sugar melts. Next, take off the burner allowing it to cool down entirely. Decant to a clean bottle, cap it keeping it in the fridge, it can be stored for around a month.
For the Premix: Mix every spirits and syrup in a sizeable container, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain , ideally through muslin, to ensure it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base into a mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute until cold. Filter to a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, decorate with the cranberries and finish by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil over the drink.
