Main Ingredients

Honey Syrup

Method

Preparation of Wagyu Fat Wash

1

Render the Wagyu Fat

In a small saucepan, gently heat the wagyu beef fat over low heat until it melts completely, about 10-15 minutes. Do not let it boil.

2

Combine with Bourbon

Once the fat is fully melted, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the melted fat into a container with the SPH Knob Bourbon, and stir gently to combine. Cover the container and let it sit at room temperature for at least 24 hours.

3

Strain the Mixture

After 24 hours, place a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over another container. Pour the fat and bourbon mixture through the strainer to separate the fat from the liquid. Discard the solid fat, keeping the fat-washed bourbon.

Honey Syrup Preparation

4

Make the Honey Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine equal parts honey and water. Heat over low heat, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool and store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Final Mixing

5

Mix the Cocktail

In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 60ml of the fat-washed bourbon, 5 dashes of walnut bitters, 3 dashes of orange bitters, and 15ml of honey syrup. Stir for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

6

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Optionally, garnish with a twist of orange peel or a walnut for added aroma and decoration.
