Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 people
To make the Citrus Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Premix (produces 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Method
For the Cordial: Combine all the items in a pan, bring to a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, remove from the stove and leave to cool down completely. Decant into a sealable bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, it can be stored for around four weeks.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour the specified liquid ingredients in a sizeable container, let it rest for an hour, then filter it best through muslin, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of your batch mix to a cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate gently for a minute to chill. Pour into an chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with the cranberries adding the final touch by giving it a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
