Clarified Guava Levels

Written By Daniel Zajic

CLARIFIED GUAVA LEVELS

  • 1½ oz. light rum (pot still) (I used Probitas)

  • ¼ oz. coconut rum (Planteray)

  • ¼ oz. banana liqueur (Giffard)

  • ¼ oz. falernum

  • 1 oz. fresh lemon juice

  • 1 oz. pink guava fruits & chunks

  • 1½ oz. whole milk, to clarify

METHOD
combine all ingredients except milk / stir and pour over milk / let sit for one hour (or longer) until milk curdles / slowly pour mixture into funnel with coffee filter or paper towel / first drops will be cloudy, so swap out container when drops are clear / pass through cloudy portion until all is clear / store in sealed bottle / to serve, pour over clear ice / garnish with mint bouquet after slapping it to express oils

ABOUT
This is a clarified version of a drink I made earlier this week (non-clarified version here). Pot still rum brings a little funk, then there’s coconut and banana for a round, creamy undertone. Guava is an underrated ingredient that balances it all. It’s tropical, easily scalable, and shelf stable. Cheers y’all!
