Bikini Recipe
Serves 10 people
For the Clementine Cordial (produces 750ml)
300ml fresh clementine juice
200ml newly squeezed lemon juice
500g granulated sugar
For the Drink (makes 850ml, to serve 10)

100ml London dry gin
150ml peach schnapps
200ml clementine cordial (as made above)

Instructions
To prepare the Citrus Syrup: Place the listed ingredients inside a pan, heat until it reaches a light boil, mixing so the sugar melts. Then, turn off the stove and leave to cool down completely. Pour to a sterilised bottle, cap it keeping it chilled, where it will keep for up to four weeks.
Preparing the Batch Mix: Combine all the liquid ingredients in a large bottle, let it rest for an hour, then pass it through best through a fine cloth, so it's perfectly clear.
When ready to serve: Pour 85ml of the premix to a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and stir lightly for a minute to chill. Pour into an frosted cocktail glass or equivalent, garnish with a few cranberries and complete it with a light spray of the essential oil over the top.
