Tag: Fat washing

Did you know the fat washing technique was popularized around 2007 by a New York bartender with a bacon-fat infused bourbon? This culinary crossover allows you to add fat to alcohol, transferring delicious, savory, or creamy flavors into your favorite spirits for an impressive twist on classic cocktails.

With the rise of craft cocktails, fat washing has become a popular and innovative technique for home bartenders. So, can you fat wash with peanut butter? Unlike solid fats like bacon or butter, peanut butter requires a modified technique to infuse its rich, savory, and nutty flavor into spirits like bourbon or rum.
