@@SandstormGT I don’t mean to be rude, but that makes no sense. You are adding extra non-alcoholic liquid to a solution, which dilutes the alcohol _before_ the clarification process even begins. There is also no such thing as “adding extra clarification,” especially since clarification is a subtractive process.

Small clarification: Curdling doesn't neatly separate the protein from fat. The curdling process is indeed mostly because the lowered pH causes changes to a portion of *proteins* in the milk -- mostly casein. It's this tangled casein matrix that allows for clarification. (Consider how strained yogurt, like Greek yogurt, contains a lot of protein.) The stuff that remains soluble and passes through filtration is another protein component (whey) along with carbohydrates like lactose and other compounds.

While this is based on a whiskey sour, the goal here is not to make a traditional whiskey sour but to create something new using the template. I’m not sure if you meant to ask if the cocktail would foam if you shake it or just in terms of protein content… yes it would foam slightly if you shake it because of the protein but this would ruin the cocktail imo. For the protein content, Idk if it compares to the egg white. Either ways, I don’t think this should be taken under consideration because like I said, the idea is to create something new with a known base. I hope this answers your question. Cheers

And how do you estimate the correct proportions of spirits if you are making something more complex than a single spirit cocktail? I recently made a clarified flat white cocktail with some lillet blanc, and gin and green chartreuse added post clarification. However, it got me a bit confused about how to calculate the amount of spirits to add to get a cocktail that was balanced and not overly alcoholic. In the end, I just eyeballed it through trial and error, but I wonder if there is some cocktail maths that would help? Presumably the 37.5% milk would lead to much more dilution than the 33% milk, which may help with the better taste and texture too?

In previous tests I've made, I came to the conclusion that warm milk does curdle faster and in bigger curds which is actually not a good thing since you won't get an equal interaction between the molecules.

Hey, very interesting, thanks! I agree with most of the method and the results makes sense. It is no surprise that the nutmilk bag technique yields more and is faster, but something to underline there is that it is because it is less filtered. The filtering process does not depend only on the total layer height the liquid has to pass, but also on the dynamics (dynamics has also influence on the taste as you demonstrated with the cocktail rested 12 hours unfiltered). Did you draw conclusions comparing the nut milk bag + coffee filter Vs coffe filter only ? I would be very interested in it. Thanks again for your work it really tackled a need!

For the abv, I think the only way would be to use a device that calculates the alcohol content which is pretty expensive.

Hey hi! Yeah you’re right I didn’t mention it since that already been proven in the past and I also covered it before. So fatter milk is better, I always use whole milk and for the temp, I always use straight out from the fridge. The heat is good to make cheese but it will only get the milk to curdle faster in bigger curds which is not necessarily a good thing for milk clarification. Like it showed us with the test pouring the cocktail over milk vs the opposite, bigger curds usually means the process happened faster and that also means less impact on the flavor because they didn’t have time to trap evenly what needed to be trapped in the whole cocktail. I hope this makes sense. Cheers
