Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 guests
For the Clementine Syrup (yields 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g fine sugar
For the Drink (produces 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine syrup (as made above)

Method
Making the Cordial: Put all the components inside a pot, bring to a light boil, agitating so the sugar melts. Next, turn off the burner allowing it to cool down fully. Pour to a clean bottle, seal and refrigerate it chilled, where it will keep for up to four weeks.
To make Premix: Combine all the liquids into a large bottle, leave to sit for one hour, then filter it preferably using muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
To serve: Add 85ml of your premix into a cocktail shaker containing ice, and stir carefully for one minute to cool it down. Pour into a chilled martini glass or similar, top with some cranberries adding the final touch using a quick spritz of the essential oil over the top.
