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.
