Fat-Washed Bourbon

3.17 cup (750 ml) Bourbon3 1/2 oz (100 g) Unsalted butter

Cocktail Ingredients

6 leaves Fresh Sage Leaves2.03 tbsp (30 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice1.01 tbsp (15 ml) Honey5/8 cup (150 ml) Ginger beer

Method

Fat-Washing Bourbon

Prepare the Butter

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it becomes brown and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Combine with Bourbon

Once the butter is browned, remove from heat and let it cool for a minute. Pour the melted brown butter into a jar with the bourbon. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently to combine.

Chill and Separate

Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight). Once the mixture has chilled, the butter will solidify and rise to the top. Strain the bourbon through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solidified butter.

Mixing the Cocktail

Muddle the Sage

In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the fresh sage leaves to release their essential oils.

Add Other Ingredients

Add the fat-washed bourbon (about 60 ml), fresh lemon juice, and honey into the shaker with the muddled sage. Fill the shaker with ice.

Shake and Strain

Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. Strain into a glass filled with ice.

Top with Ginger Beer

Top off the cocktail with ginger beer (approximately 150 ml) and stir gently to combine.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish the drink with a sprig of fresh sage or a lemon wheel if desired. Serve immediately.
