Or maybe apply a continuous centripetal force, like a centrifuge. Would force the heavier objects (e.g. dirt) to one side

pour  the mud congaing water in the bottle and wait for some time until the mud settles down, and with the cup collect the upper water and drink

Did I already talk about centripetal forces? Or did I just answer the wrong person

Use a centripetal force, or maybe that centrifuge, and spin the bottle extremely fast, forcing the heavier objects (dirt) to the 'outside'
