Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings
For the Citrus Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Premix (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Instructions
For the Cordial: Place all the components in a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing so the sugar melts. Next, take off the burner allowing it to cool fully. Decant into a sterilised bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
Preparing the Premix: Pour the specified liquids into a big jug, let it rest for one hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, making it fully clarified.
To serve: Pour 85ml from the premix into your mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute to cool it down. Strain to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, top with the cranberries and finish using a light spray of mandarin oil over the top.
