Bikini Recipe
Makes enough for 10 people
For the Citrus Syrup (produces 750ml)
300ml recently pressed clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Premix (produces 850ml, enough for 10)
400ml premium vodka
100ml London dry gin
150ml peach liqueur
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)
Whole cranberries, to garnish

Method
Making the Syrup: Combine the listed ingredients into a saucepan, heat until it reaches a simmer, stirring so the sugar melts. Next, turn off the stove and let it to cool entirely. Decant into a sealable bottle, seal and store in the refrigerator, it will last for around one month.
For the Premix: Combine every spirits and syrup into one large bottle, leave to sit for 60 minutes, then strain preferably using a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
For serving: Measure 85ml from the cocktail base into a mixing glass packed with ice, and stir carefully for one minute to cool it down. Pour into a chilled martini glass or equivalent, decorate with the cranberries and complete it using a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
