Clarified White Russian

GLASSWARE: SQUARE GLASSES

I’ve been seeing just about everything get clarified on my feed lately, so I thought a Clarified Peppermint White Russian would be perrrrfect for the holidays, and super easy to batch!

Ingredients (makes 6-8):

  • 1 cup vodka

  • 1 cup @mrblackspirits

  • 1 oz peppermint syrup, more or less to taste

  • 1 oz lemon juice

  • 1 cup heavy cream, steamed

  • garnish: candy cane

PEPPERMINT SYRUP

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 2 tbsp peppermint extract

Directions:

1. Add vodka, Mr Black, peppermint syrup, and lemon juice into a large jar and stir. Steam milk and pour it into a separate jar.

2. Pour the first batch into the steamed milk very slowly and allow the mixture to sit for at least 4 or 5 hours.

3. Strain the batch over a damp coffee filter into a fresh, clean jar and let gravity do its job! Try not to mess with the liquid by squeezing it.

4. Pour over a large ice cube, stir to chill, and garnish with a mini candy cane (or sprinkle some crushed candy cane on top of the ice cube!!).
