A series of seasonally inspired cocktails in collaboration with our friends over at Revival
“Fat-washing is a cocktail clarification method that leads to savory cocktails without the mess. To fat-wash your cocktail, add a liquid like bacon fat or melted butter to a spirit at room temperature. Let it sit until it gets the flavor you’re looking for. Throw in the freezer and chill until the fat solidifies and can be skimmed off. The spirit retains the fatty flavor without making a mess in your drink.”
