Brown Butter-Washed Bourbon

Cocktail Mix

Method

Brown Butter-Washing the Bourbon

  1. 1

    Brown the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter turns a golden brown color and develops a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.

  2. 2

    Wash the Bourbon

    Remove the pan from heat and let the brown butter cool slightly. Combine the warm brown butter with the Barmen 1873 Bourbon in a sealable container. Seal tightly and shake gently to mix. Allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Chill and Strain

    After resting, place the container in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until the butter solidifies. Once solid, strain the bourbon through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solidified butter.

Mixing the Cocktail

  1. 4

    Muddle Blackberries

    In a cocktail shaker, add the 6 fresh blackberries. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the blackberries to release their juices.

  2. 5

    Add Ingredients

    To the shaker, add the brown butter-washed bourbon (about 2 oz), 0.5 oz of Creme de Cassis, 0.75 oz of fresh lemon juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  3. 6

    Shake it Up

    Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 7

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass or rocks glass filled with ice. Optionally, garnish with a blackberry or a lemon twist.
