Bikini Recipe
Yields 10 servings
To make the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g fine sugar
Ingredients for the Premix (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Method
For the Cordial: Combine all the components into a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Next, turn off the heat allowing it to reach room temperature completely. Pour to a sterilised bottle, close it and store in the fridge, where it will keep for about four weeks.
For the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquids into a sizeable container, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using muslin, so it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Add 85ml from the premix into your cocktail shaker packed with ice, and agitate carefully for a minute to chill. Filter into a chilled martini glass or a similar vessel, garnish with some cranberries and complete it with a quick spritz with the mandarin essence over the top.
