Crystal Clear Margarita

In a foodsafe tub or bowl mix:
  • Full bottle of blanco tequila
  • 12 ½oz dry curacao
  • 15oz fresh lime Juice
  • 7 ½oz agave syrup
  • Heavy pinch of salt
Quickly stir then add:
  • 10 ½oz whole milk
Let the mixture sit for an hour or so. The milk curdles will act as the filtration system.
Get a funnel with a couple damp paper towels as a filter.
Into a smaller container, pour a small amount of the mixture through the filter. During clarification the first bit will be cloudy. Set it aside to reintroduce back into the filter later.
Into a litre bottle, slowly filter the rest of the mixture until clear. Patience is key.
Serve in a lowball glass with ice. Express lime peel and serve.
