With savory cocktails on the rise, Fee Brothers is making it easier for bars to create them faster and with more consistency in quality with a range of first‑of‑their‑kind, water‑soluble Fat Washes. This lineup for bartenders dropped in three varieties: Bacon, Roasted Duck and Browned Butter.
Fat washing, a technique that infuses the richness and complexity of fats and oils into a base spirit, typically requires hours if not days, plus storage space, and Fee Brothers Fat Wash simplifies the process while achieving the flavor and textures so that high‑volume environments can meet the demand for multidimensional cocktails.
On its website, Fee Brothers shares recipes for a Roasted Duck Fat Wash Dirty Martini, a Browned Butter Fat Wash Daiquiri, a Bacon Fat Wash Whiskey Sour, and more.
