Ingredients

  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tbsp turbinado sugar
  • 6 dashes bitters
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • Ice

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepot over medium heat, stirring until the solids brown, about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour the bourbon into a freezer-safe container and immediately whisk in the browned butter. Cover and freeze until the butter solidifies, at least 1 hour.
  3. Remove the butter from the bourbon and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any remaining droplets of butter.
  4. Dissolve turbinado sugar in hot water and combine it with the bourbon and bitters to create the cocktail mixture.
  5. Serve the Toasty Buttered Bourbon Old Fashioned on the rocks in a tumbler or stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
