Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 servings
To make the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Premix (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Instructions
For the Cordial: Put all the ingredients into a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing to dissolve. Then, remove from the burner allowing it to cool entirely. Transfer into a sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Mix the specified spirits and syrup in a big jug, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Pour 85ml of the batch mix into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate lightly for one minute to cool it down. Pour into a frosted cocktail glass or similar, top with the cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of mandarin oil above the glass.
