Frangipane Old Fashioned
Here is a third cocktail, a bit more elaborate, which will require you to master the “Fatwash” technique. As bartender Alan Guenuchot, to whom we owe this special galette des rois cocktail, describes it, Fatwash consists of “imbue a spirit with the flavors of a fatty substance”. To do this, we combine fat (such as butter, bacon oil, coconut oil, etc.) with an alcohol at room temperature, then we let the mixture sit for a few hours in the freezer until the fat solidifies and rises again. the surface. We then skim everything using a coffee filter for example, which allows only the aromas to be recovered. If all this seems abstract to you, Alan Guenuchot returns to this technique in a featured story, pinned to his Instagram profile.
The ingredients of Frangipane Old Fashioned
- 60 ml Fatwashed Bourbon with Frangipane
- 10 ml of Grand Marnier
- 5 ml of Amaretto
- 3 touches of Angostura
- Orange zest for decoration
The recipe for Frangipane Old Fashioned
Mix everything with a spoon, in a glass garnished with ice cubes.
