My link talks about how it’s popular with bartenders. How does the process work at a bar, when a customer probably doesn’t want to wait 2.5 hours for a drink? Would bars mix up big batches ahead of time?
I don’t work as a bartender, but a bartender I spoke to yesterday explained they do big batches during the day so they are ready to pour when ordered.
The clarification process makes the resulting cocktail last significantly longer. It is some sort of preservation method that I don’t know how or why it works.
This is purely half remembering something I heard a while ago, so it could be completely bullshit, but I believe it has something to do with things that are likely to spoil tend to be things that bind to the curds, and as such are (mostly) removed from the drink.

Wow, that’s quite the process!

That’s really cool. I’m going to have to give this a go some time.
Give it a couple attempts! Our first attempt failed miserably because we were not patient enough.
Start the project in the morning on a day when you’re free the whole day and won’t feel stressed if filtering takes 4 hours.
Working knowing there’s a cocktail filtering that will be waiting for me at the end of the day sounds like a nice way to survive the day 😆
