What is a fat-washed cocktail?
A fat-washed cocktail involves infusing spirits with fat, such as bacon fat or butter, to create a rich, savory flavor. This technique adds depth and complexity to the drink.

How do you fat wash a cocktail?
To fat wash a cocktail, combine the fat (melted) with a spirit and let it infuse. After some time, freeze the mixture so the fat solidifies, then strain it off, leaving a flavored spirit.

Common fats used for fat washing include bacon fat, butter, coconut oil, and even olive oil. Each fat imparts its unique flavor to the spirit.

How long does the fat washing process take?
The fat washing process usually takes several hours, including the infusion time and the freezing period. For best results, you may want to let the fat and spirit infuse overnight.

Do fat-washed spirits need special storage?
Once the fat has been removed, fat-washed spirits can be stored like any other spirit. Keep them in a cool, dark place to maintain their flavor.
