Instructions

Description: Velvet Stardust is a celestial-inspired cocktail that offers a smooth, velvety texture with a spark of effervescence, making each sip feel like a journey through the cosmos. This drink utilizes the technique of fat washing to infuse the bourbon with a subtle, creamy undertone, and employs a carbonation process to add a sparkling finish, embodying the essence of stardust in a glass. Ingredients: - 2 oz Fat-washed Bourbon (using high-quality unsalted butter) - 1/2 oz Dark Chocolate Liqueur - 1/2 oz Cherry Heering or a quality cherry liqueur - 1/4 oz Maple Syrup (preferably Grade A, Dark) - 2 dashes of Orange Bitters - Sparkling Water (to top) - Garnish: Luxardo Cherry and a twist of Orange Peel - Ice Glass: Chilled Coupe Glass Fat-Washing Technique: 1. Melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter. 2. Combine the melted butter with 750ml of high-quality bourbon in a sealable container. 3. Allow the mixture to infuse at room temperature for 4 hours, then freeze for 2 hours (or until the butter solidifies on the top). 4. Remove the solidified butter, and strain the bourbon through a cheesecloth to remove any residual fat particles. Cocktail Preparation: 1. In a mixing glass, combine the fat-washed bourbon, dark chocolate liqueur, cherry liqueur, maple syrup, and orange bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice. 2. Stir the mixture until well chilled, about 20-30 seconds. 3. Strain the mix into the chilled coupe glass. 4. Top the drink with a small splash of sparkling water to add effervescence. 5. Garnish with a Luxardo cherry and a twist of orange peel to enhance the aroma. The Velvet Stardust cocktail is a sophisticated drink that showcases the elegance of fat washing and the delight of carbonation, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate the artistry of advanced mixology.
