Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 people
For the Clementine Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Premix (makes 850ml, serving 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Method
For the Syrup: Place the listed ingredients inside a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, mixing to dissolve. After that, remove from the burner and leave to cool down completely. Transfer to a clean bottle, seal keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Combine every spirits and syrup in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for an hour, then strain best through cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
To serve: Pour 85ml of your premix into a stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring carefully for a minute until cold. Pour to a chilled martini glass or similar, top with the cranberries and finish with a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
