Brown-Butter Old Fashioned

A different take on the bourbon-based old fashioned cocktail is to mix butter with the bourbon. This cocktail is done by pouring an entire bottle of bourbon into a container. Then brown a cup of butter on the stove. We should stir the butter in with the bourbon and freeze the mixture until the butter rises to the top and solidifies. Next, we should remove the butter and strain the bourbon. The bourbon should be mixed with a simple syrup and bitters. The cocktail should be served chilled with ice.

Key Takeaways:

• Fat-washing bourbon means combining melted butter and bourbon, to let the bourbon soak up some of the butter.
• Allow the bourbon to take on some of the butter’s flavor and aromatics, making a smoother drink.
• Making an Old Fashioned using fat-washed bourbon is an easy way to put a unique and fancy spin on the classic cocktail.

“This is a great trick to fancify any not-so-great whiskey into something smooth and rich.”
