Instructions

The Winter's Whisper is a captivating cocktail that embodies the essence of a cozy, frosty evening. This sophisticated drink utilizes the advanced mixology technique of fat-washing to imbue the whiskey with a rich, velvety texture and nuanced flavor profile. Perfect for sipping by the fire or as a distinctive offering at your next gathering, this cocktail is sure to intrigue and delight your senses. **Glass:** Coupe glass **Ingredients:** - 2 oz Bacon fat-washed whiskey (preferably a smooth, aged bourbon for its depth) - 0.5 oz Maple syrup (Grade A, for its pure, natural sweetness) - 0.5 oz Fresh lemon juice (for a touch of brightness) - A dash of walnut bitters (adding a nutty complexity) - Egg white (for a silky, frothy top) - Ice cubes (for chilling) - Applewood smoke (for garnish, to add a smoky aroma that complements the bacon flavor) **Garnish:** - Crisp bacon strip - A sprinkle of ground nutmeg **Instructions:** 1. **Prepare the Bacon Fat-Washed Whiskey:** A day ahead, stir 1 oz of melted bacon fat into 750 ml of bourbon. Let it stand at room temperature for about 4 hours, then freeze until the fat solidifies on top. Remove the fat and fine-strain the whiskey into a clean bottle. 2. **Mix the Cocktail:** In a shaker, combine the bacon fat-washed whiskey, maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, walnut bitters, and egg white. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 30 seconds to emulsify the egg white. 3. **Add Ice and Shake Again:** Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously once more until well chilled. 4. **Smoke the Glass:** Carefully invert your coupe glass over a smoldering piece of applewood for a few seconds to capture the smoke, adding a layer of aromatic complexity. 5. **Strain and Serve:** Strain the cocktail into the smoked coupe glass. The egg white should create a beautiful, frothy layer on top. 6. **Garnish:** Gently lay a crispy strip of bacon across the rim of the glass and sprinkle a dash of ground nutmeg on top of the foam for an inviting aroma. The Winter's Whisper is a true testament to the art of mixology, combining traditional flavors with modern techniques to create a memorable drinking experience. Enjoy the warmth and depth of this exquisite cocktail as you unwind and reflect on the beauty of the winter season.
