That would be a great addition, but I didn't add it, because it already has a ton of notes and it could cover the subtle earthy taste from the beetroot paint.

Hi Kevin, I'm currently stumped. My bar is taking part in a cocktail competition and I wanted to create a tweak on your clarified basil smash cocktail and for the garnish I wanted to create a paint just like the one you made with beetroot but instead a green one, preferrably made with basil Is it possible to create a green basil-tasting paint that would also stick to the glass and not melt instantly as you pour the cocktail into the glass?

Hi, I tried to clarify lime juice following your method and both times I could not yield clear clarified juice. I even tried a 3rd time following other method of using 1/4 water instead of lime juice to hydrate the agar like you did and the result is still the same. I let the combined juice and agar set in ice bath and in fridge for 2 hours and filtered through 4 layers of cheesecloth. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

What's the shelf life for the clarified lemon juice?

How much loss can be expected when clarifying citrus juice with agar (agar)? Seems like the cheese cloth has a good bit of gunk left over but then your bottles looks like it has a solid 8-10 oz of liquid in it.

@KevinKos

3 жыл бұрын

The loss is small. Make sure that the cheesecloth is moistened with water before you will start filtering and the only thing left in the filter will be some citrus pulps. I think that there is around 20-30% loss but I haven't measured before and after clarifying. I will have this in my mind with the next batch of clarified citrus juice. Cheers!

Fascinating. What I heard is this is done for aesthetic reasons not to change lemon flavor. Use same quantity in a drink just like raw lemon juice? Can this be frozen to keep it longer or how long will it keep unfrozen in a fridge? Would be cool if you could freeze in a cube say 3/4 Oz or 1oz put the cubes in an airtight container and then pull out what you need. Would that be possible? Thanks for your masterful efforts!! Ok. You said it could be frozen. I’m gonna try and find cubes the right size.

How much longer does the clarified lemon juice last relative to regular? I am hoping to pre-batch some drinks with the clarified lemon and need them to last about 3-4 days.

@KevinKos

Dave Arnold (author of Liquid Intelligence) says that the clarification doesn't expand the life of the juice, but I just might don't fully agree with this one. To my experience, the clarified lemon juice stays good for up to two days, but if you will prebatch some cocktail it's good for even longer. With adding alcohol and sugar you are ok for 3-4 days. I would love to hear your results. Thank you and cheers!
