Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g fine sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
For the Cordial: Put the listed components inside a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, take off the stove allowing it to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into an sealable bottle, seal and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for about four weeks.
For the Premix: Mix the specified liquid ingredients in a large bottle, let it rest for one hour, then strain best through cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Add 85ml from the batch mix into your mixing glass filled with ice, gently stirring lightly for one minute to chill. Pour to a frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries adding the final touch with a brief mist with the mandarin essence over the drink.
