Clarified cocktails are easiest to make in a large batch, so consider multiplying this recipe by the number of cocktails you intend to make.

Combine mezcal, yuzu liqueur, Creme de Violette, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a container.

Initiate the clarification process using agar-agar. To clarify, disperse activated agar-agar into your liquid; the recommended dosage is 0.02 percent of your total liquid weight. Let it set into a gel, approximately one hour at room temperature.

After it’s set, whisk the gel to break it down and let the liquid seep out of the gel over a paper filter.

Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

To serve, add 3.5 oz of clarified liquid to a shaker tin filled with ice. Shake vigorously to chill and dilute.

Strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube and finish with a Decorative Orchid Sapphire.
