Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Cocktail (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Fresh cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
For the Cordial: Place all the components into a pot, bring to a light boil, stirring to dissolve. After that, take off the stove and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Decant into an sealable bottle, seal and store chilled, it will last for around four weeks.
Preparing the Premix: Combine the specified spirits and syrup into a large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Measure 85ml of the batch mix to a cocktail shaker containing ice, gently stirring carefully for one minute until cold. Strain into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries adding the final touch with a light spray of the essential oil above the glass.
