Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 guests
Ingredients for the Clementine Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (produces 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (see above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
For the Syrup: Combine the listed items into a pan, bring to a light boil, mixing so the sugar melts. After that, take off the stove allowing it to reach room temperature fully. Decant into a sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for about one month.
For the Premix: Pour the specified liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then pass it through preferably using muslin, so it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of the batch mix into your mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for a minute until cold. Strain into an chilled martini glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch with a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the drink.
