Are clarified cocktails overdone? Probably, for this time of year they are so relevant. This is a fun one that everyone seems to really enjoy this time of year. You can leave it as is and put it in a punch bowl or clarify it. You could even freeze tea and use tea as ice to dilute and slowly flavor the “punch”. Pick a tea that makes sense, pineapple tea? I would.
I chose to use bourbon and rye for complexity and deliciousness. You can use any aged base spirit for this, it may not be a lions tail but it’ll be good. Clarifying cocktails preserves them and adds a silky texture, similar to a fat wash. Store these cocktails in a dark, cool space. They do not need to stay in the fridge. Recommended whiskey: sazerac, rittenhouse, michters, still Austin, bulletin, woodford, old overholt, whistlepig
