Silken Maple Reverie

Description: The Silken Maple Reverie is a luxurious twist on a classic sip, combining the smoothness of fat-washed bourbon with the warmth of autumnal flavors. This cocktail is a perfect balance of sweet maple, nutty undertones, and a hint of citrus, creating an experience that wraps around your senses like a cozy cashmere scarf. Ingredients: - 2 oz fat-washed Angel's Envy Bourbon - 0.5 oz pure maple syrup - 0.25 oz hazelnut liqueur - 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice - 2 dashes walnut bitters - Orange peel, for garnish Instructions: 1. Prepare the fat-washed Angel's Envy by combining 1 bottle of Angel's Envy Bourbon with 3 oz of room temperature melted unsalted butter. Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 4 hours, then place it in the freezer until the fat solidifies. Strain the bourbon through a coffee filter to remove the fat solids, and store it back in the bottle. 2. Once the bourbon is ready, combine it with the maple syrup, hazelnut liqueur, lemon juice, and walnut bitters in a shaker filled with ice. 3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well-chilled. 4. Strain the mixture into a chilled rocks glass over a large ice cube. 5. Express the oils from an orange peel over the top of the drink and then drop it in as a garnish. Serve this cocktail in a rocks glass.
