Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Cocktail (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Method
To prepare the Syrup: Place the listed ingredients into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing until the sugar dissolves. Next, take off the stove allowing it to cool down completely. Decant into a sterilised bottle, cap it and store chilled, it will last for about four weeks.
To make Batch Mix: Combine all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Measure 85ml of your cocktail base into a mixing glass containing ice, and agitate gently for a minute until cold. Filter to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch using a quick spritz of mandarin oil over the drink.
