Fat-washing bourbon involves infusing it with fat to enhance its texture and flavor, resulting in a smoother, more flavorful drink. The process involves shaking softened fat with bourbon, letting it rest, freezing the mixture overnight, and then straining out the fat. The infused bourbon can be stored in the freezer and used to make cocktails or enjoyed on its own. Adjusting the ratio of fat to alcohol and experimenting with different fats can yield varied flavors. Fat-washed bourbon can be used in classic cocktails like the Sazerac or old fashioned, or served on the rocks. It can also be stored in the fridge for several weeks after bottling.
