Instructions

*Description:* A multi-dimensional cocktail that harmonizes the deep complexity of aged spirits with delicate hints of fruit, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The Astral Infusion employs advanced techniques such as fat washing, house-made tinctures, and smoke infusions to deliver an unparalleled experience. *Ingredients:* - 1.5 oz Fat-Washed Bourbon (Infused with brown butter) - 0.75 oz Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur - 0.5 oz House-Made Cherry Tincture (Soaked for 1 week) - 0.5 oz Fresh Lime Juice - 0.25 oz Blue Curacao - 0.25 oz Orgeat Syrup - 2 dashes Barrel-Aged Bitters - Ice Sphere infused with Hibiscus Tea - Smoke from Oak Wood Chips *Glassware:* - Coupe Glass *Instructions:* 1. **Fat Washing the Bourbon:** - Melt 2 tbsp of high-quality brown butter. Allow it to cool slightly. - Combine the brown butter with the bourbon in a mason jar and shake well. - Let it sit at room temperature for 2 hours, then place it in the freezer overnight. - The butter will solidify; strain the bourbon through a cheesecloth to remove the fat particles. 2. **House-Made Cherry Tincture:** - Combine 1 cup of high-proof vodka with 1 cup of pitted cherries in a sealed jar. - Let it steep for 1 week in a cool, dark place, shaking occasionally. - Strain out the solids and bottle the tincture. 3. **Ice Sphere:** - Brew hibiscus tea and pour it into an ice sphere mold. - Freeze thoroughly. 4. **Smoke Infusion:** - Ignite a small pile of oak wood chips and capture the smoke in a glass cloche. 5. **Mixing the Cocktail:** - In a mixing glass, combine the fat-washed bourbon, Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur, house-made cherry tincture, fresh lime juice, blue curacao, orgeat syrup, and barrel-aged bitters. - Add ice and stir for 20 seconds until well-chilled. - Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. 6. **Final Touch:** - Place the hibiscus tea ice sphere into the glass. - Capture the oak smoke under a glass cloche and release it into the glass at the table right before serving. *Presentation:* Serve immediately, allowing the smoke to waft gently as the hibiscus ice sphere slowly infuses the cocktail, enriching the complexity with every sip.
