Fat Washing Spirits is something that has really become popular over the last few years, Don Lee created this recipe after learning the technique from Barman Eben Freeman. Although PDT proprietor Jim Meehan had his doubts, the drink became the best selling drink at PDT for many years and popularized Fat Washing in the larger cocktail culture.

Fat washing is the simple technique of infusing anything with high fat content into spirits, letting it sit to room temp, then freezing to solidify the fat. Once the fat is removed the resulting liquid has taken on the flavor of said fat.

You can do this with anything from Peanut Butter to Olive Oil and Animal Fats. If you are using animal fats please practice safe food handling techniques to keep everyone healthy.
