Maple Velvet Bourbon

Description: The Maple Velvet Bourbon is a smooth and sophisticated cocktail that beautifully blends the richness of bourbon with the subtly sweet and nutty undertones of white crème de cacao and maple syrup. Clarified through almond milk, this drink achieves an exquisite clarity and a velvet-like texture that makes it a standout on any cocktail menu. Ingredients: - 2 oz bourbon - 1 oz white crème de cacao - 0.75 oz maple syrup - 2 oz almond milk - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - Nutmeg, for garnish Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the bourbon, white crème de cacao, maple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. 2. Slowly add the almond milk while stirring to initiate the clarification process. Allow the mixture to curdle for a few minutes. 3. Strain the mixture through a coffee filter or fine cheesecloth to separate the clarified liquid from the curdled milk solids. 4. Discard the solids and collect the clarified cocktail. 5. Chill the clarified liquid until ready to serve. 6.
