- It's a Last Word, but it's carbonated! I clarified the lime juice to make the carbonating work, so lots to learn about in this video.
Last Word
3/4 oz Gin
3/4 oz Clarified Lime
3/4 oz Maraschino
3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
I carbonated it with the CO2 from my beer keg. There are probably other ways to carbonate a drink, like in a soda stream, but this is how I do it because I have the equipment already. I got an adapter like this (but not exactly this) to connect the ball lock to a plastic bottle: www.morebeer.c...
Cheers!

This was great - you've got my mind spinning with ideas. I love the Botanist in the last word, and you weren't kidding around with the carbonation tank! 😂
It is a big boy. I have had it for years, and I haven't re filled it yet!
There is something poetic about pouring a cocktail from a cheap plastic bottle into a elegant sophisticated glassware.
Yeah its a bit jarring!
Love this! Liquid intelligence is literally the only cocktail book I own 😬. This is a great variation Pete!
Thanks so much! I really enjoyed it.
Love the science. One of my lockdown purchases was a carbonator where the bottle has a pressure relief valve so you can carbonate anything without making a mess.
Oh cool. what is it callled?
Great video, Pete! I had read about clarifying citrus juice, but it was super helpful to see you actually do it. I worked in a lab for 15+ years, so your video took me back to those days!
I felt very scientific! I really like this technique, can recommend.
@@UnclePete - fantastic! I posted this video to our FB page as part of our "Channel of the Day" series. :-)
oh Thanks! I don't visit FB much, but I will go check it out!
Great informative video thanks for the upload!
Glad you enjoyed it!
WOW this one blow me away. The juice clarifying process looks a bit laborious but the final result is very appealing.
It is a pain, but the final result is super classy
@@UnclePete Totally agree!
Great video and stove!
You're a stove stan I see
Hey Pete, not sure if you've seen it but there's conversion kits you can buy to connect a regular CO2 tank to a carbonation system like the SodaStream. Get a 2 regulator system with one pressure setting for your sodastream, and the other for the homebrew and your set! Obviously all of that depends on space.
hmm. I could also put water in the keg and have on demand soda water... but I dont think I have space for both. thanks for the tip!
Love the book and cocktail science! It is pretty Rad! Great video. Inspired to clarify lime juice. I’m not sure how you would do this in a soda stream! If you put anything other than water in the container it explode! (She’s says from experience!) Your way seems better!
Cheers Pete!
I heard that about the soda stream, apparently there are other products that can do it without exploding. I will stick with this for now since I already have it!
Pretty cool Pete, Why did you choose that method specifically for your clarification?
I followed the advice in Liquid Intelligence, I don't have a centrifuge, I didn't want to freeze-thaw it, and I didn't have Pectinex. I didn't want to milk wash either, I wanted the color and didn't want the milkiness.

too kind
A great gadget for carbonating any liquid at home is the DrinkMate, just like a SodaStream but you aren’t limited to plain water.
Oh I should look into that.
@@UnclePete well worth it, they’re on sale now , 20% off
@@NicholasFiennes They look just like a soda stream (which I have) Do they have some other feature that makes them work for cocktails?
@@UnclePete yeah, they’ve got a special pressure release system so the contents doesn’t spray everywhere when you remove it from the carbonator
@@NicholasFiennes Aha! neat. Maybe when the soda stream breaks I can replace it with that. I don't think Auntie Susan will tolerate another gadget. :)
I love this category of drink. One of my favorites:
2 oz gin (Hendrick’s)
1oz ginger simple
1 oz clarified lemon
[ champagne acid is best ]
2.75 oz clarified orange juice
Small pinch salt
1 shake orange bitters
You may tune the sweetness to your preference / taste
That sounds good! I would probably turn down the orange juice a bit, but I am going to try and clarify some more things in the future, so I will keep this in mind! thanks!
@@UnclePete That would probably be good. The inspiration for this drink was the French 75. The OJ, half the gin and half of the lemon is analogous to sparkling wine. The remainder added to the "wine" makes a French 75.
I suppose I left an important step: Chill and force carbonate! ....
Oh haha yeah that makes sense!
The “Full Chort Word”!
lol
i can do with another juice? that is not citric example tomatoes juice
You mean clarified tomato juice? I think that tomatos don’t have pulp and you could get it pretty clear with just straining. I would consult liquid intelligence on this if I were you.
Why agar and not milk clarification?
I wanted the color, and didn't want it to be milky.
