Brown Butter Rye Cocktail
Method
Preparation
Brown the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Strain the Mixture
After 30 minutes, place a fine mesh strainer over a glass and pour the whiskey mixture through it to separate the butter solids from the liquid. Discard the solids.
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the strained whiskey, butternut squash puree, and dashes of old-fashioned bitters. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake well for about 15 seconds.
Serve
Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. Garnish with a slice of butternut squash or an orange twist if desired.
