Ingredients
- 2½ cups white rum, 20 ounces
- 1¼ cups lemon juice, 10 ounces
- 1¼ cups Tarragon Honeydew Syrup, 10 ounces
- 1¼ cups coconut milk or whole milk, 10 ounces
Instructions
- Combine rum, lemon juice and Tarragon Honeydew Syrup in a large container.
- Place coconut milk in a separate container. Slowly pour rum mixture into coconut milk. Do not reverse this step. Pouring the acidic mixture into the milk slows acidification and creates finer curds for better clarification.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- The next day, strain mixture through a coffee filter set inside a fine-mesh strainer. Allow liquid to strain naturally without pressing.
- If needed, strain liquid again through the same filter and curds for additional clarity.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
