Bikini Recipe
Yields 10 servings
For the Citrus Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Premix (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
To prepare the Cordial: Combine all the components inside a saucepan, bring to a simmer, mixing to dissolve. Next, turn off the stove and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Decant into a clean bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for around four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Pour all the liquids in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it , ideally through cheesecloth, to ensure it's completely strained.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your batch mix to a stirring glass containing ice, and stir gently for about 60 seconds to chill. Filter to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with some cranberries and finish by giving it a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
