Milk-Washing Magic: A Creamy Journey into Smooth Cocktail Crafting
Milk-washing is an age-old technique that has found its rightful place in modern mixology, promising a smooth texture and a clear appearance to cocktails. This curious method involves a dance between milk and spirits, resulting in concoctions that are as pleasing to the palate as they are to the eyes. At Subterra, we delve into this whimsical world of milk-washing to craft cocktails that are a tribute to this timeless technique.
The Science Behind Milk-Washing
The magic of milk-washing lies in its science. When an acidic component is mixed with milk, the reaction causes the milk proteins to coagulate and entrap impurities, leaving behind a clear, smooth liquid.
Protein Coagulation: The milk proteins coagulate around the impurities, separating them from the spirit.
Fat Interaction: The fats in the milk also interact with the spirit, contributing to a smoother texture and a rich mouthfeel.
The Milk-Washing Process
The process of milk-washing, though simple, requires precision and patience.
Curdling the Milk: Mix an acidic component with milk to initiate the curdling process.
Mixing with Spirit: Combine the curdled milk with the spirit and let it sit to allow the magic to unfold.
Straining: Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to remove the coagulated proteins and impurities.
