Popcorn-Infused Butter-Washed Bourbon

Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Popcorn-Infused Butter-Washed Bourbon

1

Prepare Popcorn

Pop 1 cup of popcorn using a stovetop method or an air popper. Once popped, set aside.

2

Infuse Butter

In a saucepan, melt 1 stick of unsalted butter over low heat. Add the prepared popcorn and stir to coat. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3

Wash with Bourbon

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Add 2 cups of bourbon to the saucepan. Stir well, then cover and let it sit for at least 1 hour to infuse.

4

Strain the Mixture

After infusion, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, discarding the popcorn solids. Allow it to cool completely and refrigerate until ready to use.

Cocktail Preparation

5

Mix the Cocktail

In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of the popcorn-infused butter-washed bourbon, 1 oz of cola demerara syrup, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

6

Stir and Chill

Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the mixing glass and stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled.

7

Serve

Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass. Garnish with a piece of orange peel by expressing the oils over the drink and placing it on the rim.
