(Make 6 Servings)
Prep: Gather your fig leaf-infused gin, sweet vermouth, Suze, peach bitters, peach cordial, whole milk, a large mixing bowl, fine mesh strainers, coffee filters, a chilled rocks glass, large ice cubes, and peach ring candy.
Mix: Combine the spirits, modifiers, and bitters together in the large non-reactive mixing bowl, then gently stir in the whole milk to initiate the natural clarification and curdling process.
Stir: Stir the mixture thoroughly while allowing the curds to form, then carefully filter the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and coffee filter until completely clear.
Serve: Measure the chilled, clarified batch into your pre-chilled rocks glass directly over a large, crystal-clear ice cube.
Garnish: Finish with a generous aromatic spray of bitters and serve alongside sweet peach ring candy.
