• tiempo total: 6 hours

Ingredientes

Clarified Siesta (Serves 4) 🍋🟩:

10 oz Tequila Blanco

4 oz Simple Syrup

7 oz Whole Milk (for clarification)

Instrucciones

Mix tequila, lime juice, grapefruit juice, Campari, and simple syrup, then slowly pour into the milk. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight, then strain through a coffee filter, cheesecloth, or paper towels over a fine mesh strainer.

Serve over ice and float 1 oz of the infused tequila using the back of a spoon.

Hibiscus-Infused Tequila (Floater) 🌺:

1 cup Tequila Blanco

½ cup Dried Hibiscus Flowers

Combine in a sealed container, let sit for 3 hours, then strain.

To make other clarified cocktails, a good rule of thumb is using about 25% milk to total cocktail volume (a 1:4 milk-to-cocktail ratio).

To store, transfer to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate.

It’s recommended to pour the cocktail into the milk, rather than the other way around, so the milk curdles gradually and not instantly.

You can only milk-wash cocktails with citric acid, like lemon or lime juice (ex. margarita, whiskey sour, or daiquiri).
