Bikini

Serves 10 servings

To make the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)

300ml newly squeezed clementine juice
200ml recently pressed lemon juice
500g fine sugar

Ingredients for the Drink (produces 850ml, enough for 10)

400ml good quality vodka
100ml dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)
A few cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, for finishing

Method

To prepare the Syrup: Combine all the components into a pot, bring to a simmer, agitating so the sugar melts. Then, take off the stove and leave to cool fully. Pour to a sterilised bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for around a month.

To make Batch Mix: Combine the specified liquid ingredients into a sizeable container, let it rest for one hour, then pass it through , ideally through cheesecloth, to ensure it's perfectly clear.

When ready to serve: Add 85ml of your batch mix to a stirring glass filled with ice, and agitate carefully for a minute until cold. Filter into an frosted cocktail glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and finish using a brief mist with the mandarin essence above the glass.
