Instructions

Enter the indulgent world of the Velvet Sunset, an exquisite clarified milk punch that marries the robust flavors of aged red wine with a silky, creamy texture. This cocktail is both sophisticated and comforting, ideal for slow sipping on a quiet evening. **Description:** The Velvet Sunset offers a unique balance of tart and creamy, featuring the subtle tannins of aged red wine blended seamlessly with rich, full-fat milk. The milk clarification process results in a smooth, velvety drink that is clear yet full-bodied, with a lingering finish of warm spices and citrus. **Ingredients:** - 200 ml Aged Red Wine (preferably with notes of dark fruit and spice) - 100 ml Full-Fat Milk - 30 ml Dark Rum (for an added layer of complexity) - 15 ml Fresh Lemon Juice - 10 ml Simple Syrup (adjust sweetness to taste) - 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters - Orange Peel for garnish **Glassware:** Serve in a chilled Nick and Nora glass or a small coupe glass. **Instructions:** 1. **Clarify the Milk:** In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the full-fat milk and fresh lemon juice, stirring gently. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the milk curdles and separates. 2. **Strain the Milk:** Strain the curdled milk through a fine mesh sieve lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth. The resulting liquid should be clear with a slight yellow hue. 3. **Mix the Ingredients:** In a separate mixing glass, combine the aged red wine, dark rum, and simple syrup. Add two dashes of Angostura bitters. 4. **Combine and Strain:** Slowly pour the clarified milk into the mixing glass with the wine mixture. Stir gently to combine, then strain the mixture through the coffee filter again to ensure maximum clarity. 5. **Chill:** Pour the clarified cocktail into a mixing glass filled with ice and gently stir to chill. 6. **Serve:** Strain the chilled cocktail into a pre-chilled Nick and Nora or small coupe glass. 7. **Garnish:** Express the oils from an orange peel over the top of the drink, then place the peel into the glass for garnish. The Velvet Sunset showcases an innovative use of milk clarification to create a cocktail that is as visually stunning as it is delicious, a true testament to the art of mixology.
