Bikini

Makes enough for 10 people

Ingredients for the Clementine Cordial (makes 750ml)

300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar

To make the Cocktail (makes 850ml, enough for 10)

400ml good quality vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (from the recipe above)
Fresh cranberries, as a garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch

Instructions

For the Syrup: Place all the ingredients inside a pan, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring so the sugar melts. After that, turn off the heat and leave to cool down entirely. Decant into a sterilised bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, it can be stored for up to four weeks.

For the Batch Mix: Pour every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, let it rest for one hour, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.

To serve: Add 85ml of your premix into your stirring glass packed with ice, and agitate gently for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Pour to a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, decorate with some cranberries adding the final touch with a light spray with the mandarin essence over the top.
