Method

Preparation of Clarified Milk

  1. 1

    Clarifying the Milk

    In a saucepan, gently heat 4 oz of milk until warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Slowly add the warm milk to a mixing bowl containing 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to curdle. After curdling, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the solids, leaving you with clarified milk. Set aside.

Building the Cocktail

  1. 2

    Mixing the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine 1 oz of Shot Tower Gin, 0.5 oz of Lacuesta Blanco, 0.5 oz of Genepy, 0.25 oz of Luxardo Maraschino, and 0.75 oz of fresh lime juice. Shake well until the mixture is chilled.

  2. 3

    Straining the Cocktail

    Double strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass using a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth pour.

  3. 4

    Adding Clarified Milk

    Gently pour the clarified milk over the back of a spoon into the glass, allowing it to float on top of the cocktail without mixing.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Garnishing

    Optionally, garnish with a twist of lime peel or a small sprig of mint for added aroma and visual appeal.

  2. 6
