The Bikini Cocktail
Makes enough for 10 people
To make the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Cocktail (produces 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml decent vodka
100ml classic gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Method
Making the Syrup: Place all the components inside a pot, heat until it reaches a gentle boil, mixing so the sugar melts. After that, remove from the stove and leave to cool down fully. Pour into an sealable bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Premix: Mix the specified liquids in a large bottle, allow it to infuse for 60 minutes, then pass it through preferably using cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Pour 85ml from the batch mix to a stirring glass filled with ice, gently stirring gently for a minute until cold. Pour into a cold coupe glass or a similar vessel, top with some cranberries and complete it with a brief mist of the essential oil above the glass.
