The Bikini Cocktail
Serves 10 people
To make the Clementine Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
Ingredients for the Cocktail (makes 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Directions
To prepare the Syrup: Place the listed items into a pan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating so the sugar melts. After that, take off the heat and leave to cool fully. Pour into an clean bottle, close it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
To make Premix: Combine the specified liquid ingredients into one big jug, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it best through a fine cloth, making it perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the batch mix into a mixing glass packed with ice, gently stirring gently for a minute to cool it down. Strain into an frosted cocktail glass or a similar vessel, decorate with the cranberries and complete it using a brief mist of mandarin oil over the top.
