The Bikini Cocktail
Yields 10 people
For the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Drink (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (see above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Directions
Making the Syrup: Put the listed components inside a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, turn off the burner and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into an clean bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for up to four weeks.
For the Batch Mix: Mix every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then filter it best through muslin, so it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml from the premix to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and stir gently for a minute until cold. Filter to a cold coupe glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch using a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the drink.
