Yeah same concept as a milk-washed cocktail, which cuts down on the bitter/astringent flavors in liquor. Works really well, I bet this drink would be delicious

Wow, you all are amazing. Thanks.

Would lactose-intolerant people be able to drink this or is enough milk left behind that it would cause issues?

I don't know enough about the chemistry going on to give you a confident answer. I assume not though - I don't think curdling milk gets rid of all the lactose, and since you're essentially using curdled milk as a filter with this technique, I wouldn't be surprised if a non-zero amount of lactose made it's way through the filter. I'd have to do some actual research to know for sure though.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer! An honest "I don't know" is still very helpful.
