Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 people
To make the Citrus Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
To make the Cocktail (produces 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml good quality vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, for garnish
Mandarin essential oil, to finish
Method
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Combine all the items into a pot, heat until it reaches a light boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. After that, remove from the burner and leave to reach room temperature entirely. Transfer into a sealable bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, it can be stored for about a month.
Preparing the Cocktail Base: Pour all the spirits and syrup in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for one hour, then filter it best through muslin, so it's completely strained.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of the cocktail base to a stirring glass packed with ice, and stir gently for a minute to chill. Filter to a cold coupe glass or similar, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch using a brief mist of mandarin oil above the glass.
