Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 servings

300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
Ingredients for the Drink (makes 850ml, to serve 10)

100ml London dry gin
150ml peach-flavored liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (from the recipe above)

Method
For the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed items inside a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, mixing until the sugar dissolves. After that, take off the stove and leave to cool down completely. Transfer into an sealable bottle, cap it and store in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
For the Cocktail Base: Pour the specified spirits and syrup into one large bottle, let it rest for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using muslin, to ensure it's fully clarified.
For serving: Add 85ml of your premix into a mixing glass packed with ice, and agitate gently for about 60 seconds to cool it down. Strain into a cold coupe glass or similar, garnish with the cranberries and finish by giving it a brief mist of mandarin oil over the drink.
