The Bikini Cocktail
Makes enough for 10 people
To make the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Drink (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
A few cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Instructions
For the Syrup: Put all the ingredients inside a saucepan, bring to a simmer, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the heat allowing it to cool completely. Decant to a clean bottle, close it and store chilled, it can be stored for around four weeks.
To make Cocktail Base: Mix the specified liquids into one large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through preferably using muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the cocktail base into your cocktail shaker filled with ice, and agitate gently for a minute until cold. Strain to a cold coupe glass or equivalent, decorate with a few cranberries and finish by giving it a brief mist of mandarin oil over the drink.
