Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 guests
For the Clementine Cordial (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g caster sugar
To make the Cocktail (yields 850ml, serving 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin

200ml citrus syrup (see above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish
Mandarin essential oil, as a final touch
Directions
For the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed items inside a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, agitating until the sugar dissolves. Next, take off the heat and leave to cool down fully. Transfer into a clean bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, it will last for about one month.
For the Batch Mix: Mix all the liquids into a sizeable container, allow it to infuse for one hour, then strain best through a fine cloth, so it's completely strained.
For serving: Measure 85ml of the cocktail base into a mixing glass filled with ice, and agitate carefully for about 60 seconds to chill. Pour into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, top with some cranberries and complete it with a brief mist of the essential oil over the top.
