The results of clarifying a cocktail using milk
This is clarified milk punch, a cocktail-making technique dating back over 300 years. Benjamin Franklin was a fan and even shared his own recipe in 1763.
I made mine with rum, port, Earl Grey tea, citrus, and spices. Adding the mixture to milk causes it to curdle, and filtering out the curds leaves behind a beautifully clear, ruby-red cocktail.
The curds actually help filter the drink, removing particles and softening some of the harsher flavors. It's a surprisingly satisfying process!
