Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 people
Ingredients for the Citrus Syrup (makes 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml fresh lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
To make the Premix (yields 850ml, to serve 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml citrus syrup (as made above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing
Method
Making the Syrup: Combine all the ingredients in a pan, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring so the sugar melts. Then, turn off the burner allowing it to cool fully. Pour to a clean bottle, close it and refrigerate it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for around a month.
Preparing the Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup in a big jug, let it rest for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using a fine cloth, so it's fully clarified.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the batch mix into your stirring glass packed with ice, gently stirring lightly for a minute to chill. Pour into a cold coupe glass or equivalent, garnish with some cranberries adding the final touch using a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
