Clarified Coffee Margarita

Ingredients:
1.5 oz tequila blanco
0.75 oz coffee liqueur
0.25 oz orange liqueur
1 oz cold brew coffee
0.75 oz lime juice
2 dashes orange bitters

For clarification:
1 oz whole milk

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!
