Clarified Coffee Margarita
| Ingredients: For clarification: Put milk in mixing glass. Put all ingredients in shaker with ice, shake until chilled, and then add to milk in mixing glass. Rest for 30 minutes. Strain curdled milk/cocktail mixture with coffee filter (I strained 2x total). Serve over ice with lime garish. I had never made a clarified cocktail before and wanted to try it -- plus had separately been thinking that a coffee margarita sounded tasty. So I ended up doing both! I had to tinker with the recipe a couple times to make sure the coffee and lime juice were coming through enough. I also left the Cointreau from traditional margarita recipes and added orange bitters since coffee and orange go well together. It seems like a lot of liquid but you lose some with the clarification. Turned out a bit more brown than I was hoping but overall still a success and it tasted delicious! [link] [comments] |
