Browned Butter and Dark Chocolate Washed Bourbon

Course Syrups and Garnishes

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Airtight Container
  • Fine Mesh Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Bourbon I used Jackrabbit Whiskey from Willie’s Tin Shop
  • 4 oz Unsalted Butter
  • 1.5 oz Dark Chocolate Bar about 4 squares

Instructions
 

  • Place butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring regularly.
  • The butter will melt, then boil, bubble and foam releasing the moisture, when it smells nutty and you see the color change to deep golden (this should take about 5 minutes)
  • Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, stirring until completely smooth.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes, then add the whiskey, and stir to incorporate.
  • Pour mixture into an airtight container, and rest on the counter for 24 hours.
  • Strain using a paper coffee filter (preferred) or fine mesh strainer into an airtight container.
  • Store in refrigerator.
