Instructions

Imagine the rich, dark elegance of midnight, captured in a glass. Midnight Velvet is a cocktail that embodies sophistication and a hint of mystery. Through the use of fat washing, an advanced mixology technique, we introduce a velvety-smooth mouthfeel, coupled with the deep flavors of coffee and chocolate, rounded off with a smoky finish. This is a concoction designed for those who appreciate complexity in their drink. **Glass**: Old Fashioned Glass **Ingredients**: - 2 oz Bourbon (preferably a brand with caramel and vanilla notes) - 1/2 oz Dark Chocolate Liqueur - 1/2 oz Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate - 1/4 oz Maple Syrup (Grade A, for depth) - Bacon Fat (for the fat washing of Bourbon) - A pinch of Sea Salt - Ice - Orange Peel (for garnish) - A small strip of crispy Bacon (for garnish) **Advanced Mixology Technique - Fat Washing**: 1. **Fat Washing The Bourbon**: Start by melting a quarter cup of bacon fat. Once liquefied, pour it into a large jar containing the 2 oz of bourbon. Let this mixture sit at room temperature for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Afterwards, freeze the mixture for another 4 hours, or until the fat solidifies on top. Remove the solid fat and strain the bourbon through a coffee filter to ensure all residual fat is removed. This process infuses the bourbon with a savory depth, enhancing its natural flavors without overwhelming them. **Instructions**: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the fat-washed bourbon, dark chocolate liqueur, cold brew coffee concentrate, and maple syrup. 2. Add a pinch of sea salt. This will elevate the sweetness and the complex flavors of the drink. 3. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled. 4. Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with a large ice cube. 5. Express the oil of an orange peel over the drink and drop it in. 6. Garnish with a small strip of crispy bacon for that final savory touch. Midnight Velvet is a drink that intrigues at first glance and delivers a memorable journey of flavors with each sip. The smoothness of the fat-washed bourbon combined with the rich notes of coffee and chocolate, finished with the smoky hint of bacon, makes it a luxurious treat for the senses.
