Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Method
Making the Citrus Syrup: Put all the components in a pan, bring to a simmer, mixing so the sugar melts. Then, take off the burner allowing it to cool down fully. Pour to a sterilised bottle, cap it and store in the fridge, it will last for around a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour all the liquid ingredients into one big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's fully clarified.
To serve: Add 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir carefully for a minute to cool it down. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with a few cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
