Bikini
Serves 10 people
Ingredients for the Citrus Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Cocktail (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
Whole cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Place every components inside a pot, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, take off the stove and leave to cool fully. Transfer to a clean bottle, close it and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Combine all the liquid ingredients into one big jug, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
When ready to serve: Add 85ml of your premix to a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir lightly for a minute until cold. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, decorate with the cranberries and finish using a brief mist of mandarin oil over the drink.
